what is the pathophysiology of acute cholecystitis.....??

---

Cholecystitis is often caused by cholelithiasis (the presence of choleliths, or gallstones, in the gallbladder), with choleliths most commonly blocking the cystic duct directly. This leads to inspissation (thickening) of bile, bile stasis, and secondary infection by gut organisms, predominantly E. coli and Bacteroides species.

The gallbladder's wall becomes inflamed. Extreme cases may result in necrosis and rupture. Inflammation often spreads to its outer covering, thus irritating surrounding structures such as the diaphragm and bowel.

Less commonly, in debilitated and trauma patients, the gallbladder may become inflamed and infected in the absence of cholelithiasis, and is known as acute acalculous cholecystitis.

Stones in the gallbladder may cause obstruction and the accompanying acute attack. The patient might develop a chronic, low-level inflammation which leads to a chronic cholecystitis, where the gallbladder is fibrotic and calcified.  (+ info)

why acute cholecystitis disease appear during pregnancy?

---

A lot of times it is caused by an increase in estrogen levels. When you have a increase in estrogen it can decrease gallbladder movement. Also with pregnancy the risk for cholesterol gallstones increases because the bile contains more cholesterol during pregnancy, so the gallbladder cannot contract as it normally would. That is the most common reason. Hope this helps!  (+ info)

How common is cholecystitis or gallstones in teenagers?

---

I'm 15 and I have cholecystitis. I'm not obese and I don't have a family history of it. I was just wondering how common is this?
I admit my diet is sometimes not the best but I do try to eat good foods (I only drink diet pop, for example) and my mom doesn't have a lot of fatty or salty foods inthe house. I might be under a little stress because of school but not that much.
Rarely, a form of acute cholecystitis without gallstones (acalculous cholecystitis) occurs. Acalculous cholecystitis is more serious than other types of cholecystitis. It tends to occur after the following:

*
Major surgery
*
Critical illnesses such as serious injuries, major burns, and bodywide infections (sepsis)
*
Intravenous feedings for a long time
*
Fasting for a prolonged time
*
A deficiency in the immune system

It can occur in young children, perhaps developing from a viral or another infection.  (+ info)

Why do some people have jaundice when they have cholecystitis?

---

One sign of cholecystitis (gallbladder disease with gallstones) is jaundice. Why would a person have that?
The gallbladder produces bile. When the organ is diseased or effected by stones then the bile "spills" into the cells in the entire body instead of going into the stomach and intestines to help digest food. I hope this helps you understand why this happens. God Bless  (+ info)

What is the difference between acute and chronic mono?

---

My doctors just ruled out a past infection of mono and told me I have either chronic or acute mono, and I don't know the difference.
I'm not sure how it specifically applies to mono, but, medically speaking, acute means "short and intense" and chronic is long lasting but generally not as severe.

So chronic mono is most likely the form that lasts 6 months to a year and acute may be something you could recover from in a couple of months.

I hope that helps.  (+ info)

How long does it take for acute paronychia to go away?

---

I have a case of acute paronychia on my left middle finger and I have had it for about, three or four days. I started taking some kind of antibiotic yesterday but it doesn't seem to be working. How long would it usually take to go away?
That would be about a week or so. Keep soaking the area daily, gently pulling the skin away from the nailbed after soaking for 20-30 minutes. Sometimes, the skin will break open an allow the pus to come out. Otherwise, take your antibiotic as directed until every pill is gone.  (+ info)

What is the difference between bronchitis and acute bronchitis?

The doctor told me I had "acute bronchitis" and I was wondering what the difference was between that and normal bronchitis. Thanks in advance!
Acute bronchitis is caused by a viral illness - this type is the "normal" bronchitis. Chronic bronchitis is seen almost exclusively in smokers.
It's all inflammation of the larger airways called "bronchi".  (+ info)
