Q

Imaging for biliary colic and look for

A

US– dilatation of CBD, gallbladder wall may be thickened

ERCP- Diagnostic and therapeutic for stones, stent for blocked bile duct
CT may be useful if other forms of imaging have been insufficient

Q

Management of biliary colic

A 
Analgesics
IV
NBM
Surgical: laparoscopic cholecystectomy
ERCP- Diagnostic and therapeutic for stones, stent for blocked bile duct

Complications of surgery–injury to bile duct, fat intolerance- due to inability to secrete large amounts of bile into intestine due to absence of gall bladder
Post cholecystectomy syndrome- presence of abdominal symptoms e.g dyspepsia

Q

Bloods for cholecystitis

A

High WCC: in cholecystitis and cholangitis
LFT: High ALP and GGY in ascending cholangitis
Blood cultures, Amylase to exclude pancreatitis

17
Q

Imaging for cholecystitits

A

USS-shows gallstones
Increased thickness of gallbladder wall
Dilation of biliary tree

AXR-but only 10% are radio opaque

18
Q

Management for cholecystitis

A

Mild/Conservative: Low-fat diet

Medical:
NBM
IV fluids
Analgesia
ANTI EMETICS
ANTIBIOTICS-if infection is present, if symptoms persist despite this suspect a localised abscess or empyema

If obstruction is present-urgent biliary drainage by ERCP

Surgical:
laparoscopic cholecystectomy
