Question 1

gall bladder burst is this an emergency?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It would be extremely rare to have a burst or ruptured gallbladder, but if it occurred it would be a surgical emergency.

Question 2

hida scan says gall bladder ejection rate 0%.  will my gall bladder burst if i don't get surgery right away?

Accepted Answer

No: First, I do not know if you have gallstones by ultrasound or not. Hida scan apparently shows the gallbladder fills, but does not empty, so the gallbladder is not obstructed. This indicates there is no urgent problem with your gallbladder. Optional & elective to have surgery, and only if you are having appropriate symptoms related to the gallbladder.

Question 3

may have a gall bladder issue, can't get in to a specialist for/month.  worried it could burst.  severe rib cage pains.  lipase was elevated 2 wks ago?

Accepted Answer

Get checked again : You need to get an Ultrasound and some blood work done  to ensure it is not acute cholecystitis(emergency)  as opposed to just biliary colic(non emergency) . If your pain is severe, fever, nausea and vomiting are present, then I suggest go to the ER . Only you know if your symptoms are worse . Alternatively , Your primary care provider can order these tests as an outpatient .

Question 4

symptoms of bad gall bladder?

Accepted Answer

Bad gallbladder: Symptoms include nausea, bloating, left shoulder pain, right upper abdominal pain, light colored stool, or yellow colored skin. In worse cases, fever, intense abdominal pain, and sepsis may occur.

Question 5

what symptoms do you have if  your gall bladder is bothering?

Accepted Answer

A few: Pain in right upper abdomen especially after a fatty meal, nausea, sometimes vomiting. Sometime pain in the tip of your shoulder blade as well. If you notice dark urine or chalky stools, see a doctor. That can indicate worsening gallbladder disease.

Question 6

how can you prevent gall bladder symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Healthy gallbladder: Gallstones are linked to chronic liver disease (stones usually of pigment type), but also reflect low hdl/high triglycerides, genetics, age, sex (females 2x more), obesity, drugs, low fiber, tpn, diabetes, hemolysis, pregnancy, primary biliary diseases. Improving risk factors above will not only reduce stone disease, but may reduce development of sludge/sand, and may improve gallbladder function.

Question 7

what are the symptoms when your gall bladder is infected?

Accepted Answer

Pain fever: Upper abdominal and right upper abdomen pain (pain can be severe), maybe fever, vomiting, nausea, sometimes yellow jaundice or pancreatitis.

Question 8

does anybody have any idea who gets gall bladder symptoms?

Accepted Answer

People w/Gallstones: Risk factors for gallbladder disease include a strong family history, obesity, certain ethnic groups, precipitous weight loss, blood disorders, liver infections, etc.  Early-on, it is much more common in women, yet the odds even out after age 50.  There is a less-common entity of gallbladder disease without stones, yet this is the exception.

Question 9

what are the symptoms of having 2 polyps in the gall bladder?

Accepted Answer

Maybe none: Gallbladder polyps can be small and have no symptoms. May be just an incidental finding on an ultrasound when one is having an evaluation of abdominal pains. Larger gallbladder polyps over 1 cm probably should be removed with laparoscopic gallbladder removal.

Question 10

what are the symptoms that indicate you need your gall bladder removed.

Accepted Answer

Pain: Pain under your right rib cage that might go to your right shoulder or back. The pain is usually sharp or squeezing and might be associated with fevers or chills.
