Chronic gallbladder disease (chronic cholecystitis) involves gallstones and mild inflammation. In such cases the gallbladder may become scarred and stiff. Symptoms of chronic gallbladder disease include the following:
* Complaints of gas, nausea, and abdominal discomfort after meals; these are the most common symptoms, but they may be vague and difficult to distinguish from similar complaints in people who do not have gallbladder disease.
* Chronic diarrhea (4 - 10 bowel movements every day for at least 3 months).
Symptoms of Stones in the Common Bile Duct (Choledocholithiasis)
Stones lodged in the common bile duct can cause symptoms that are similar to those produced by stones that lodge in the gallbladder, but they may also cause the following symptoms:
• Jaundice (yellowish skin)
• Dark urine, lighter stools, or both
• Rapid heartbeat and abrupt blood pressure drop
• Fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, and severe pain in the upper right abdomen. These symptoms suggest an infection in the bile duct (called cholangitis).
As in acute cholecystitis, patients who have these symptoms should seek medical help immediately. They may require emergency treatment.
