K81. 1 - Chronic cholecystitis | ICD-10-CM.
Chronic cholecystitis is swelling and irritation of the gallbladder that continues over time. The gallbladder is a sac located under the liver. It stores bile that is made in the liver. Bile helps with the digestion of fats in the small intestine. Cholecystolithiasis.
K80ICD-10 code K80 for Cholelithiasis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the digestive system .

Cholelithiasis is the formation of gallstones. Cholecystitis is the inflammation of the 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.
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.

If left untreated, cholecystitis can lead to serious, sometimes life-threatening complications, such as a gallbladder rupture. Treatment for cholecystitis often involves gallbladder removal.
Treatment for cholecystitis usually involves a hospital stay to control the inflammation in your gallbladder. Sometimes, surgery is needed. At the hospital, your doctor will work to control your signs and symptoms.
In some recent studies, nonsurgical treatments such as PC can be a lifesaving alternative in patients with comorbidities. In the present study, 48 (53.9%) patients underwent cholecystectomy while 41 (46.1%) patients were treated with non-surgical methods including PC or antibiotics only.
This blockage causes bile to build up in the gallbladder, and that buildup causes the gallbladder to become inflamed. If this happens acutely in the face of chronic inflammation, it is a serious condition. The gallbladder could rupture if it's not treated properly, and this is considered a medical emergency.
