SHORT TOPIC ON : CHOLELITHIASIS
Cholelithiasis Cholelithiasis is derived from the Greek word ‘CHOL’ means “Bile” and “LITH” means ‘Stone’. Presence of stones in the gallbladder is reffered to as cholelithiasis .
Types of Gallstone There are three types of gallstone which is given below: CHOLESTEROL STONES ( 80% cholesterol by weight) vary in color from light yellow to dark green or brown and are oval 2to 3cm in length,often having a tiny dark center spot.
PIGMENT STONES are small,dark stones made of bilirubin,calcium salts and 20% cholesterol that are found in bile. MIXED GALLSTONES typically contain 20-80% cholesterol.Other common constituents are calcium carbonate,palmitate phosphate ,bilirubin and other bile pigments.Because of their calcium content,they are other radiographically visible.
Pathophysiology: Cholesterol gallstones develop when bile contains too much cholesterol and not enough bile salt. Two other factors are important in causing gallstones are: Incomplete and Infrequent emptying of the gallbladder may cause the bile to become overconcentrated and contribute to gallstone formation.
The second factor is the presence of proteins in the liver and bile that either promote or inhibit cholesterol crystallization into gallstones .
ETIOLOGY: Fat Forty Female Fertile Drugs Heriditary Bile stasis
Signs and symptoms: Gallstones may be asymptomatic,even for years.These gallstones are called “silent stones” and do not require treatment. Symptoms commonly begin to appear once the stones reach a certain size(>8mm) A characteristic symptom of gallstones is a “gallstone attack”, in which a person may experience intense pain in the upper right side of the abdomen.
Often,attacks occur after a particularly fatty meal and almost always happen at night. Abdominal bloating. Intolerance of fatty foods. Belching. Gas Indigestion
INVESTIGATIONS: USG of HBS LFTs ERCP/MRCP AXR CT Scan
TREATMENT: Conservative treatment for acute condition. SURGERY: Open cholecystectomy Laparoscopic cholecystectomy(the gold standard for treating symptomatic cholelithiasis
Medical treatment : 1.expectant incase of asymptomatic 2.Chemical ddissolution : By Chenodeoxycholic acid (when gall stone<2cm nd GALL BLADDER –normal function)
3.Fragmentation by ESWL(extra corporial shock wave lithotripsy. Percutaneous cholecystolithotomy .
COMPLICATIONS: Cholecystitis Choledocholithiasis Perforated gallbladder Gallbladder cancer Cholangitis Pancreatitis Gangrene or abscesses
