• damage to the walls of the gallbladder stones (diet in the form of overeating, a large amount of spicy and fatty foods in the diet);

Methods of laboratory and instrumental Diagnostics, used in acute cholecystitis:

• severe conditions (nonspecific signs of inflammation are increased ESR, Leukocytosis with left shift);
• physical examination (bilirubinemia, desproteinemia, increase in liver transaminases, amilazы);
• severe conditions (Double contours and thickening of the wall of the gallbladder, voltage bubble under ULTRASONIC sensor, as well as the possible expansion of the bile ducts);
• severe conditions (for differential diagnosis in complex cases);
• severe conditions (a detailed study of biliary ERCP endoscopic method).

Acute cholecystitis – Classification

Acute cholecystitis are classified as follows::

• acute calculous cholecystitis (85-95% cases);
• acute calculous cholecystitis (acalculous) cholecystitis.

By the nature of the inflammatory process emit kataral'nuju and destructive (purulent) forms of acute cholecystitis. Latest, in turn, can be flegmonoznoj, flegmonozno-peptic ulcer, Pyoderma and its depending on the stage of the inflammatory process flow.
