Gallstone disease rufi
1. Gallstone Disease
Definitions
• Cholelithiasis = presence of gallstones
• Acute calculous cholecystitis = occlusion of the cystic duct by
gallstone leading to gallbladder inflammation
• Chronic calculous cholecystitis = recurrent episodes of cystic
duct obstruction leading to scarring and a nonfunctional gallbladder
• Chronic acalculous cholecystitis = symptoms of biliary colic, no
gallstones, and an abnormal gallbladder ejection fraction
• Acute cholangitis = bacterial infection of the biliary ducts
• Choledocholithiasis = CBD stones
• Mirizzi syndrome = when gallstones lodged in either the cystic duct
or the Hartmann pouch of the gallbladder, externally compressed the
common hepatic duct (CHD), causing symptoms of obstructive
jaundice
2. Gallstone Disease
Types of Gallstones
•Pure cholesterol (70%)-radioluscent
•Pigmented (30%)-radiopaque
• PURE 20%-Black stones (contain Ca bilirubinate,
a/w cirrhosis and hemolysis)
• MIXED 10%-Brown stones (a/w biliary tract
infection)

9. Gallstone Disease
Labs
• Order: BMP, amylase/lipase, LFTs, CBC, coags
• Acute cholecystitis: increased WBC, increased alk
phos, slight increase in amylase and T bili
10. Gallstone Disease
Imaging
• KUB - only 15% of gallstones are radiopaque
• U/S - gallstone identification false(-) rate is 5-15%. It identifies bile duct
dilatation w/ 80% accuracy.
Look for
• thickened GB wall (>3.5mm)-independent predictor of acute
cholecystitis .(ppv 95%)
• pericholecystic fluid, distended GB,
•Murphy’s sign-sensitivity as high as 88%
12. Gallstone Disease
• CT scan - used to diagnose complications
• MRI - can detect gallstones and common duct stones
• ERCP - to look for CBD stones
• HIDA scan - radionuclide IV, extracted from blood, excreted into bile
15. Gallstone Disease
Management
• biliary colic: oral or parenteral opiate analgesics
and NSAIDS( ketorolac).
• complicated: analgesia, antiemetics , cessation of
oral intake, volume and electrolyte replacement,
antibiotics(cefotaxime or ceftriaxone, 1 gram IV) and metronidazole; or a fluoroquinolone
and metronidazole)
• ERCP is undertaken for patients with common bile
duct stones or dilated common bile ducts
16. Gallstone Disease

R scapula. Symptoms began 1 hr. after a fatty meal. Pt.
currently has no pain. No prior episodes.

22. Gallstone Disease
Case 2: Continued
• Dx: acute calculous cholecystitis
• Persistent cystic duct obstruction leads to GB distension, wall
inflammation & edema
• Risk of: empyema, gangrene, rupture
• Treatment:
• NPO
• IVF
• ABX:
• Common organisms: E coli, Bacteroides fragilis, Klebsiella,
Enterococcus, and Pseudomonas
Sanford guide:2006/11

30. Gallstone Disease
Case 6: Continued
• Dx: gallstone pancreatitis
• 35% of acute pancreatitis secondary to stones
• Pathophysiology: reflux of bile into pancreatic duct and/or
obstruction of ampulla by stone
• ALT >150 (3-fold elevation) has 95% PPV for diagnosing
gallstone pancreatitis
• Treatment:
• ABC, resuscitate, NPO/IVF, pain medication
• ERCP once pancreatitis resolves
• Cholecystectomy before d/c
31. Gallstone Disease
Take Home Points
• Start with ABCs
• Cholelithiasis = “Female, Fat, Forty, Fertile”
• Stone formation based on the relative concentration of
cholesterol, bile salts, and phospholipid
• Cholecystitis PE = Murphy’s sign
• RUQ evaluation: U/S, HIDA, CT, MRI, ERCP
• Acalculous cholecystitis a/w TPN, ICU setting
• Cholangitis = Charcot’s triad, Reynold’s pentad
Figure 1. Ultrasonographic Images of Three Gallbladders. A normal, sonolucent gallbladder (Panel A) is characterized by a thin wall and an absence of acoustic shadows. In a patient with symptomatic gallstones (Panel B), the gallbladder contains small echogenic objects with posterior acoustic shadows that are typical of gallstones (arrow), with a normal wall thickness. In a patient with acute calculous cholecystitis (Panel C), thickening is visible in the gallbladder wall (arrow), along with a large gallstone (arrowhead).
Uptake by liver, GB, CBD, duodenum w/in 1hr = normal
Slow uptake = hepatic parenchymal disease
Filling of GB/CBD w/delayed or absent filling of intestine = obstruction of ampulla
Non-visualization of GB w/ filling of the CBD and duodenum = cystic duct obstruction and acute cholecystitis (95% sensitivity & specificity)
Figure 1. CT Scan of the Abdomen. There is an abnormal air density within the gallbladder fossa and the gallbladder wall, with associated pneumobilia. The findings are consistent with the presence of emphysematous cholecystitis and cholangitis.
Figure 2. Hepatobiliary Scintigraphy. In Panel A, a normal liver is visible 10 minutes after the intravenous injection of a technetium-labelled analogue of iminodiacetic acid. In Panel B, at 55 minutes after tracer injection, filling of the bile duct (arrow) and gallbladder (arrowhead) can be seen. In Panel C, at 1 hour after tracer injection in a patient with acute cholecystitis and obstruction of the cystic duct, there is filling of the bile duct (arrow) but no filling of the gallbladder.
Untreated acute cholecystitis may lead to severe complications such as ascending cholangitis, emphysematous cholecystitis, gangrenous cholecystitis, or pancreatitis.
