There are three main causes of gallstones or cholelithiasis:
When fever, persistent tachycardia, hypotension, or jaundice are present, it requires a search for complications of cholelithiasis, including cholecystitis, cholangitis, pancreatitis, or other systemic causes.
Complications from acute cholecystitis occur in around 20% of patients. Complicated acute cholecystitis is associated with a mortality rate of around 25%. 33 Perforation of the gallbladder, which occurs in 3% to 15% of patients with cholecystitis, has a 60% mortality rate. 34 Acute acalculous cholecystitis has a mortality rate of around 30%. 35
The signs and symptoms of cholecystitis may include the following:
What's the difference between cholecystitis and cholelithiasis? Cholelithiasis is the formation of gallstones. Cholecystitis is the inflammation of the gallbladder.
K80.20ICD-10 Code for Calculus of gallbladder without cholecystitis without obstruction- K80. 20- Codify by AAPC.
Acute cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder. It usually happens when a gallstone blocks the cystic duct. Gallstones are small stones, usually made of cholesterol, that form in the gallbladder. The cystic duct is the main opening of the gallbladder.
K80ICD-10 code K80 for Cholelithiasis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .
Practice Essentials. 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).
R10. 11 Right upper quadrant pain - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
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.
Uncomplicated gallstone disease — The term "uncomplicated gallstone disease" refers to biliary colic in the absence of gallstone-related complications. (See 'Biliary colic' below and 'Complications' below.)
INTRODUCTION. Acute cholecystitis is a syndrome of right upper quadrant pain, fever, and leukocytosis associated with gallbladder inflammation. It typically occurs in patients with gallstones (ie, acute calculous cholecystitis), while acalculous cholecystitis accounts for a minority (5 to 10 percent) of cases.
Gallstones, also known as symptomatic cholelithiasis, are hard, crystal-like deposits that can form in the gallbladder below the liver. They can range in size from as small as grains of sand to as large as golf balls – although small stones are much more common.

An acute or chronic inflammation involving the gallbladder wall. It may be associated with the presence of gallstones. Inflammation of the gallbladder; generally caused by impairment of bile flow, gallstones in the biliary tract, infections, or other diseases. Code History.
In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
