A member asked:
How can i tell if my gallbladder has gangrene? only functioning 15%. i'm constipated, have jaundice, low grade fevers. ttl bilirubin- 4.5.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High fever, chills: Acute cholecystitis presents with RUQ pain, sometimes fever, chills, nausea and vomiting. Jaundice (elevated bilirubin) may be related to gallstones in the common bile duct or underlying liver disease. This case requires prompt evaluation by a general surgeon.
