Gallstones: Symptoms and Complications
Gallstones form as a result of cholesterol or salt deposits in the gallbladder, and cause characteristic symptoms:
-
•
Biliary colic: A sharp, sudden pain in the upper abdomen (right side) that extends to the shoulder, especially after fatty meals.
-
•
Acute cholecystitis: It occurs when the bile duct becomes blocked by stones, and is accompanied by fever and nausea.
-
•
Obstructive jaundice: Yellowing of the eyes and skin is a result of blockage of the bile ducts.
Pancreatitis: The Hidden Danger
The pancreas is a very sensitive organ, and its inflammation is a medical emergency. The most common causes are:
1 A gallstone becomes lodged in the pancreatic duct.
2 Extremely high blood triglycerides.
3 Some medications or excessive smoking.

Careful medical management in the hospital for the treatment of acute pancreatitis (fasting, intravenous fluids, analgesics) until the inflammation subsides.
