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:
– Acute or chronic inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis) usually associated with gallstones (chole-lithiasis), which lodge in the cystic duct. Choledocholithiasis is obstruction of the common bile duct by gallstones. The cause of cholelithiasis is not clear, although abnormal metabolism of cholesterol and bile salts plays a crucial role.

Cholangitis is an inflammation of the bile duct system. The bile duct system carries bile from your liver and gallbladder into the first part of your small intestine (the duodenum). In most cases cholangitis is caused by a bacterial infection, and often happens suddenly.
Primary biliary cholangitis, previously called primary biliary cirrhosis, is a chronic disease in which the bile ducts in your liver are slowly destroyed. Bile is a fluid made in your liver. It aids with digestion and helps you absorb certain vitamins.
cholangiopathy (plural cholangiopathies) (pathology) Any disease of the bile ducts.
