Calculus of bile duct with cholecystitis - what does this mean
Calculus of bile duct with cholecystitis is a condition caused by the formation of gallstones in the bile ducts, which can lead to inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis). this can be caused by an imbalance of cholesterol and bile salts in the bile, leading to the formation of gallstones that can block the bile ducts.
What happens during the disease - calculus of bile duct with cholecystitis
The pathogenesis of calculus of bile duct with cholecystitis is a multi-factorial process. it is caused by a combination of bile stasis, increased bile viscosity, and an increase in bile acids. these changes lead to the formation of gallstones, which can then obstruct the bile ducts and lead to inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis). other factors such as infection, genetic predisposition, and diet can also contribute to the development of this condition.
