Acute cholecystitis, the commonest complication of cholelithiasis, is a chemical inflammation usually requiring cystic duct obstruction and supersaturated bile. The treatment of this condition in the laparoscopic era is controversial.
ICD-10 code K81. 0 for Acute cholecystitis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .
Cholelithiasis and cholecystitis both affect your gallbladder. Cholelithiasis occurs when gallstones develop. If these gallstones block the bile duct from the gallbladder to the small intestine, bile can build up in the gallbladder and cause inflammation. This inflammation is called cholecystitis.

Cholecystitis is an inflammation of the gallbladder wall; it may be either acute or chronic. It is almost always associated with cholelithiasis, or gallstones, which most commonly lodge in the cystic duct and cause obstruction.
Cholelithiasis involves the presence of gallstones (see the image below), which are concretions that form in the biliary tract, usually in the gallbladder. Choledocholithiasis refers to the presence of one or more gallstones in the common bile duct (CBD). Treatment of gallstones depends on the stage of disease.
The condition is considered chronic when attacks of cholecystitis are repeated or prolonged. Women get gallstones more often than men. They also have a higher risk of developing acute cholecystitis. Risk increases with age in both men and women, although the reason for this is unclear.
