Overview
Cholecystitis is often caused by cholelithiasis which blocks the cystic duct directly, predisposing the gallbladder to secondary infections by gut organisms, especially escherichia coli and bacteroides. Less commonly, in debilitated and trauma patients, the gall bladder may become inflamed and infected in the absence of cholelithiasis, which is known as acalculous cholecystitis.
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. Acute cholecystitis may become complicated as abscess, gangrene or perforation in patients who are older, with diabetes or who delay seeking treatment. This complicated acute cholecystitis can by itself be life threatening.
