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

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.

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.
In most cases, gallstones blocking the tube leading out of your gallbladder cause cholecystitis. This results in a bile buildup that can cause inflammation. Other causes of cholecystitis include bile duct problems, tumors, serious illness and certain infections.
Choledocholithiasis is the presence of stones in bile ducts; the stones can form in the gallbladder or in the ducts themselves. These stones cause biliary colic, biliary obstruction, gallstone pancreatitis, or cholangitis (bile duct infection and inflammation).
