Signs And Syptoms Of Gallstones The majority of people with gallstones have no signs or symptoms and are unaware of their gallstones.

Cholecystectomy is often done for inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis). This condition is usually caused by a buildup of gallstones (cholelithiasis) in the gallbladder. Gallstones can block the flow of bile, resulting in inflammation and pain. In severe cases, emergency surgery may be required. When…

Cholecystitis is defined as inflammation of the gallbladder, most often caused by gallstones obstructing the neck or cystic duct of the gallbladder, causing the build-up of bile leading to increased pressure and subsequent inflammation of the organ (Kimura et al., 2013). The most common form of cholecystitis is known as calculous cholecystitis, which is most often caused by gallstones or biliary sludge obstructing the cystic duct, however other less common causes such as benign and metastatic…

collecting ducts. The collecting ducts will transport urine back through the concentration gradient and back through the nephron loop. The walls of the collecting duct are permeable to water, not sodium. Through osmosis more water is drawn out. ADH determines the the permeability of the collecting ducts resulting in less urine secretion and more concentration. Less ADH results in less concentration of urine and more volume. Micturition, meaning urination. Once urine is produces as stated above…
