K80.11: Calculus of gallbladder with other cholecystitis With obstruction of biliary tract
You have gallstones in your gallbladder. Your gallbladder is inflamed.
The gallbladder is in the top right part of the abdomen below the liver. The liver produces bile. The bile flows through bile ducts to the gallbladder and is stored there. When needed, the bile flows through another bile duct to the intestine. There, the bile helps to digest fats.
Gallstones can develop when particular substances build up in the gallbladder or bile ducts. These substances can then form stones. Gallstones usually form in the gallbladder. But sometimes gallstones can also form in the bile ducts.
Your gallbladder has become inflamed. Because of the inflammation, you may have pain in your upper right abdomen. But it is also possible that the inflammation will not cause any symptoms. The inflammation can be caused by the gallstones preventing the outflow of bile fluid. The bile fluid can then accumulate. As a result, pathogens can settle more easily. Sometimes a gallstone may cause the inflammation itself.
The gallstones have obstructed your bile ducts.
