Inflamed Gallbladder with Gallstones

Types of Gallbladder disease

There are many different types of gallbladder diseases out there and many people can have them for quite some time and never know it. This is why it is so important for you to be informed so that you can get the treatment you need to fix it before it is too late. Let’s take a look at the various types of gallbladder diseases as well as their symptoms.

Biliary Dyskinesia
The first type of gallbladder disease is called Acalculous cholecystopathy, and this means that there you have a disease or condition of the gallbladder without the presence of gallstones. However, another name for it is functional gallbladder disorder or impaired gallbladder emptying. For this type of disease it has been found that the cause can be an inflammation that happens often due to an issue with the smooth muscles of the gallbladder or even your sphincter muscle of Oddi being too tight. Furthermore, research has found that stress can also be a big part of this type of gallbladder disease, and therefore, the biliary dyskinesia kit is made for this reason.

Symptoms of Biliary Dyskinesia

• Pain in the upper right of your abdomen when you do not have gallstones
• Most all gallbladder symptoms due to a lack of bile that helps digest food, and is found in the gallbladder

Cholecystitis

Cholecystis is the second types of gallbladder diseases found and it means that your gallbladder is inflamed. With this type of disease you will see that the causes vary widely. For instance, acute cholecysitis has been found to be caused by gallstones, but can also be due to a bacterial infection. On the other hand, it can also be caused by chemical irritation as well. Then we have chronic cholecytitis which can occur with gallstones or without. If however it is without the presence of gallstones then it would be called acalculous cholecystitis. And if this is the case then the treatment would involve using an antispasmodic as well as laxatives, and the contents of the gallbladder attack kit are perfect for this issue.

Choledocholithias

When you are diagnosed with choledocholithias then you will have gallstones in your bile ducts. This particular gallbladder issues is very painful and your symptoms can vary depending on the location of your stones and if it is blocking the bile from flowing through. Furthermore, the stones can cause a blockage in the neck of your gallbladder which will lead to distention and inflammation, or rather, cholecystitis. What’s more, if there is a blockage in the bile duct it can cause a back-up of bile into the liver and therefore can lead to jaundice, and if backed up into your pancreas then it can lead to pancreatitis.

Cholelithiasis

Then you have the more commonly known issues of cholelithiasis, or rather, gallstones. These stones are found to be solid crystalline precipitates found in the biliary tract. These however usually start out forming in your gallbladder being made from the bile, and primarily consists of calcium, cholesterol, and bilirubin.

Cholestasis

Last but not least you have another of the types of gallbladder diseases known as cholestasis. This particular issue is an impairment of the flow of bile because of some sort of obstruction in the area of the small bile ducts, (intrahepatic cholestasis) or it can mean an obstruction in the are of the large bile ducts (extrahepatic cholestasis).

Symptoms of Cholestasis

Discomfort due to the backing up of bile from circulation.
Jaundice
Too much bilirubin in your blood which can turn your urine dark and stools pale or chalk colored
Intense itching and skin irritation due to too much bile salts in circulation
Blood clot impairment due to miss absorption of your fats as well as vitamin K which is a vitamin that is fat soluble and can vary your clotting factors.
