IV.DEFINITION OF THE DISEASE Calculous cholecystitis is caused by obstruction of stone in the bile duct leading to inflammation of the gallbladder. The gallbladder is an organ which aids in the digestive process. Its function is to store and concentrate bile. The bile in turn emulsifies fats and neutralizes acids in partly digested food. Despite its importance in the digestion of fat, many people are unaware of their gallbladder. Fortunately enough, the gallbladder is an organ that people can live without. Perhaps, this fact contributes to the laxity of the majority. The gallbladder tends to be taken for granted or ignored of the proper care and conditioning. Lifestyle together with heredity, sex, race and age are just some factors that leave a room for gallbladder complications to occur. Gallstone disease is a disease of hepato-biliary system, caused by cholesterol and/or bilirubin metabolic disorder, and characterized by formation of stones in the gallbladder and/or the biliary tract. Gallstones are categorized as cholesterol, mixed, black pigment, or brown pigment stones. Cholesterol gallstones are the main type of gallstones and contain cholesterol as the major chemical constituent. Mixed cholesterol gallstones are composed of more than 50% cholesterol. Cholesterol and mixed gallstones are formed from biliary sludge, which stays for a long time in the gallbladder lumen. Biliary sludge consists of calcium bilirubinate granules, cholesterol monohydrate crystals, and biliary polymerized glycoprotein mucin. The dynamics of the transformation of biliary sludge into cholesterol stones has been shown as follows: diffused biliary sludge surface biliary sludge precipitating biliary sludge a cholesterol gallstone without acoustic shadow. The time of formation of cholesterol stones depends on the intensity of the precipitation processes of cholesterol monohydrate crystals in biliary sludge, and equals 3 to 36 months. Transformation proportion varies from 5 to 50% depending on the cause. Black pigment stones are composed of either pure calcium bilirubinate or polymer-like complexes consisting of calcium, cooper, and large amounts of mucin glycoproteins. Brown pigment stones are composed of calcium salts of unconjugated bilirubin, with varying amounts of cholesterol and protein. These stones are usually associated with infection. The natural history of gallstones is typically defined in two separate groups of patients: those with symptomatic gallstones and those who are asymptomatic. The vast majorities of gallstones are asymptomatic and remain asymptomatic. As a rule, gallstone disease is asymptomatic, which is called silent stones. The rate of development of biliary pain is approximately 2% per year for 5 years and then decreases over time. The incidence of complications in patients with asymptomatic stones is low, and prophylactic

removal of the gallbladder for this condition is not necessary. Patients who had an episode of uncomplicated biliary pain in the year, 38% per year had recurrent biliary pain. An incidence of recurrent biliary pain as high as 50% per year in those with symptomatic gallstones. 30% of patients with one episode of biliary pain will not have a recurrent episode. The estimated risk of developing biliary complications is estimated to be 1% to 2% per year and is thought to remain relatively constant over time .

V. Anatomy and Pathophysiology

LIVER Largest organ in the body Lies under the diaphragm; occupies most of the right hypochondrium and part of the epigastrium. Weighing 1.5 kgs. LIVER LOBES AND LOBULES The liver has two lobes, separated by the falciform ligament Left lobe- about one sixth of the liver Right lobe- about five sixth of the liver. BILE DUCTS Right hepatic duct- drains bile from the right functional lobe of the liver

Left hepatic duct- drains bile from the left functional lobe of the liver Common hepatic duct-is the duct formed by the convergence of the right hepatic duct and the left hepatic duct ; Length: Usually 68 cm. Approximate width: 6 mm in adults; merges with cystic duct to form common bile duct, which opens into the duodenum. Cystic duct- is the short duct that joins the gall bladder to the common bile duct. Common bile duct- formed by the union of the common hepatic duct and the cystic duct (from the gall bladder). FUNCTIONS OF THE LIVER The liver stores a multitude of substances, including glucose (in the form of glycogen), vitamin A (12 years' supply), vitamin D (14 months' supply), vitamin B12, iron, and copper. Glucose metabolism- after meal, glucose is taken up from the portal venous blood by the liver and converted into glycogen (glycogenesis), which is stored in the hepatocytes. Glycogen is converted back to glucose (glycogenolysis) and release as needed into the blood stream to maintain normal level of the blood glucose Ammonia conversion- use of amino acid from protein for glycogenesis results in the formation of ammonia as a byproduct. Liver converts ammonia to urea. Protein metabolism- liver synthesizes almost all of the plasmas protein including albumin, alpha and betaglobulins, blood clotting factor plasma lipoproteins. Fat metabolism- fatty acid can be broken down for production of energy and production of ketone bodies. Bile formation- bile is formed by the hepatocytes Composed of water, electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, calcium, bicarbonate, lecithin, fatty acids, cholesterol, bile salts Collected and stored in the gallbladder and emptied in the intestine when needed for digestion. BILE Bile is the greenish-yellow fluid (consisting of waste products, cholesterol, and bile salts) that is secreted by the liver cells to perform two primary functions,

including the following: to carry away waste to break down fats during digestion Bile salt is the actual component which helps break down and absorb fats. Bile, which is excreted from the body in the form of feces, bile gives feces its dark brown color. TRANSPORT BILE 1. When the liver cells secrete bile, it is collected by a system of ducts that flow from the liver through the right and left hepatic ducts. 2. These ducts ultimately drain into the common hepatic duct. 3. The common hepatic duct then joins with the cystic duct from the gallbladder to form the common bile duct, which runs from the liver to the duodenum (the first section of the small intestine). 4. However, not all bile runs directly into the duodenum. About 50 percent of the bile produced by the liver is first stored in the gallbladder, a pear-shaped organ located directly below the liver. 5. Then, when food is eaten, the gallbladder contracts and releases stored bile into the duodenum to help break down the fats. GALLBLADDER The gallbladder is a small organ whose function in the body is to store bile and aid in the digestive process. A hallow pear- shaped sac from 7- 10 cm (3-4 inches) long and 3 cm broad. It consists of a fundus, body and a neck. Fundus - the lower free and the expanded end of the Gall bladder. Body - the body of the gall bladder is the portion that is lying between that of the fundus and also the neck. The direction of the body is upwards, backwards, and to the left. Neck- takes a turn and becomes downwards and backwards. It can hold 30 to 50 ml of bile. right lobe and attached there by areolar connective tissue.

The cystic duct connects the gallbladder to the common hepatic duct to form common bile duct. FUNCTION OF THE GALLBLADDER Stores bile enters to the gallbladder by way of the hepatic and cystic duct. During this time the gallbladder concentrates bile five folds to ten folds. Then later when digestion occurs in the stomach and in the intestines, the gallbladder contracts, ejecting the concentrated bile into the duodenum. Jaundice, a yellow discoloration of the skin and the mucosa, results when obstruction of bile flow into the duodenum occurs. Bile is thereby denied its normal exit from the body in the feces. Instead, it absorbed in the blood, and an excess of bile pigments with a yellow hue enters the blood and is deposited in the tissues. The gallbladder stores bile, which is released when food containing fat enters the digestive tract, stimulating the secretion of cholecystokinin (CCK). The bile, which is produced in the liver, emulsifies fats and neutralizes acids in partly digested foods.

The result shows MCV is in normal range,it is measure of the average red blood cell volume that is reported as part of a standard complete blood count. The average amount of hemoglobin (MCH) is calculated value derived from the measurement of hemoglobin and the red cell count. Decrease level may indicate iron deficiency anemia or hemoglobinopathy. (Medical-surgical,Workman, page 882) It is a measure of the

concentration of hemoglobin in a given volume of packed red blood cells. It is reported as part of a standard complete blood count.

URINALYSIS Urinalysis is a physical, microscopic, or chemical examination of urine . The specimen is physically examined for color, turbidity, specific gravity, and pH. The it is spun in a centrifuge to allow collection of a small amount of sediment that is examined microscopically for blood cell, casts, crystals, pus and bacteria. Chemical analysis may be done to identify and quantify any of a large number of substances, most often for ketones, sugar, protein, and blood. MACROSCOPIC Result Dark yellow color Normal values Straw; amber Interpretation The excretion of the bile pigments by the kidney gives the urine a very dark color There is a presence of pus cells in the urine which means that there is also the presence of infection.

VII. Medical Management ReducePain. Pain may arise from contraction of the gallbladder during transient obstruction of the cystic duct by gallstones. Analgesic may be administered intramuscularly or intravenously with a patient-controlled analgesia or as needed for pain. During an acute attack of biliary colic, the client remains on NPO status, with IV fluids administered to maintain hydration(D5LR 1L x 8 @31gtts). The client is advised to avoid foods that precipitate biliary colic. Antibiotics are administered to reduce the likelihood of infection. Other medications ordered such as: Pre- operative Medication: Omeprazole Ceftriaxone Tramadol Fentanyl Mefenamin Acid 4g OD 750mg OD 10 mg !V 50 mg IV 500mg (PRN)

Surgical Management Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy has become the treatment of choice of asymptomatic gallbladder disease. The procedure is suitable tor most clients, because there is minimal trauma to the abdominal wall.(Med-surgical, Black page 1124)

Cholecystectomy consist of excising the gallbladder from the posterior liver wall and ligating the cystic duct.When stone are susoected in the common duct, operative cholangioraphy my be performed.(Med-surgical, Black page 1125)

A conventional open cholecystectomy is indicated when a laparoscopic cholecystectomy does not allow for retrieval of a stone in the common bile duct and and when the clients physique does not allow access to the gallbladder.(Med-surgical, Black page 1125)
