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 ultrasound can be used in children presenting with abdominal pain. Bile amylase concentration may also be a useful screening tool for chronic cholecystitis.[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.
