Overview
There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for chronic cholecystitis. However, screening ultrasound can be used in children presenting with abdominal pain. Bile amylase concentration may also be a useful screening tool for chronic cholecystitis.
Screening
There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for chronic cholecystitis. However, screening may be considered in the following scenarios:[1][2][3]
- Point of care ultrasound can be used as a screening tool in pediatric cholecystitis, where children present with abdominal pain.
- In critically ill patients, ultrasound has insufficient evidence to be a sensitive screening test for acalculous cholecystitis.
- For chronic cholecystits due to pancreatic biliary reflux, bile amylase concentrations may be a useful screening tool.
