Gallstones This condition is called a condition in which small stones or sometimes large stones are formed inside the gallbladder. In some cases, gallstones lead to severe pain in the person, but about 90% of people with gallstones do not have any symptoms. In some cases, gallstones remain in a person for more than 10 years and do not cause any symptoms. Bile** **Gallbladder** is one of the organs of the body that is located in the lower part and next to the liver.. The contents of the liver are collected inside the gallbladder before being secreted in the intestine.. In response to the food we eat, especially fatty foods, it pours some bile into the small intestine through the digestive tract and plays a very important role in digestion.. Fats... Bile contains water, cholesterol, fat, salt... Bile contains protein and bilirubin. Bile salts combine with fat and bilirubin gives bile and feces a yellow color. If the bile fluid contains a lot of cholesterol, bile salts or bilirubin, it can turn into stones under certain conditions. It is from the gallbladder to store bile. It is produced by the liver and passes through a duct that flows into the small intestine. Biliary diseases that occur due to inflammation of the walls of the gallbladder, which is known as cholecystitis... ### ** Gallbladder disease** This disease has caused many problems, including: Gallstones biliary colic Gallbladder inflammation Gallbladder cancer Obstruction of intrahepatic and extrahepatic ducts Gallbladder inflammation It leads to acute symptoms in this disease, which include abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, fever and jaundice in the patient's face.. Among the people who are at risk of developing gallstones are pregnant women, family history, those who have recently lost weight, people who have lost a lot of weight in a short period of time, women who use birth control pills, people who use it because of a fat diet, people who use it because of a fat diet, the following can be mentioned... they have diabetes... Gallstone disease can be diagnosed by the following methods: ### Abdominal radiology In cases where a person suspects gallbladder disease, abdominal radiology is used to rule out other causes of the disease. But only 15 to 20% of gallstones are calcified enough to be seen on X-rays. Since ultrasound is quick and accurate and can be used for patients with jaundice and liver failure, also in ultrasound, the patient is not exposed to ionizing radiation. Ultrasound studies are based on analysis. Sound waves are reflected.. Ultrasound can show gallstones with maximum accuracy... Scintigraphy Coloscintigraphy is used as a successful method in diagnosing gallbladder inflammation.... In this process, a radioactive substance is used intravenously.... This agent is absorbed by liver cells and quickly excreted through the bile ducts.... This method is more expensive and time superior than ultrasound, and the patient is often not exposed to ionizing ultrasound radiation... Answer... Although ultrasound replaces ultrasound Cholecystography is used in cases where ultrasound equipment is not available or ultrasound results are inconclusive. Oral cholangiography can be used to detect gallstones and evaluate the ability of the gallbladder to fill, concentrate, contract and empty. It is excreted by the liver and collects in the gallbladder. Radiology appear.. Iodine compounds that are used as background agents include: unipenic acid (popanoic acid), meglumine iodidepamide (Chlorography) and sodium ipodate, which the patient should do.. Do not give anything orally to prevent contraction and emptying of the gallbladder... Of course, the patient must first be asked if he is allergic to iodine or seafood or not... Don't see the hypothesis, gallbladder disease is unlikely... ### **Gallbladder ultrasound** Ultrasound plays a very important role in examining the gallbladder itself, bile ducts inside and outside the liver, as well as stones inside the gallbladder. Ultrasound is not as dangerous as other imaging methods and does not cause any complications for the patient... The cost of performing ***ultrasound of the gall bladder is very low compared to other methods***. The error rate in **diagnosis of gallstones** with ultrasound is very low... ### **Treatment of gallstones** You should note that the presence of gallstones inside the gallbladder does not necessarily require treatment or surgery, which means that when a stone is found inside the gallbladder and requires surgery, the gallbladder should not be removed. The gallbladder is removed by surgery or laparoscopy when the stone enters the duct or lead sac and enters the gallbladder. Obstruction... in this case, it leads to a series of symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, fever, and as a result, inflammation of the gallbladder and an increase in the thickness of the wall, as well as changes in the patient that can be seen in the ultrasound of the gallbladder. In these cases, the patient needs treatment and surgery Dr. Saif's ultrasound is one of the best ultrasound centers... you can call 88553155-88553310 to get advice and ask questions in this field.
