10 Choledocholithiasis Symptoms
Fever
Fever is a common indication of inflammation in the body. A fever can occur with choledocholithiasis due to inflammation in the bile duct caused by a gallstone blockage. Chills may accompany the fever.1’Gallstones.’ Mayo Clinic. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseasesconditions/gallstones/symptoms-causes/syc-20354214
A fever accompanied by nausea and vomiting requires immediate medical attention. This combination of symptoms could indicate a perforation of the gallbladder or common bile duct and may result in a life-threatening situation. The release of bile into the abdomen may also lead to peritonitis, an infection of the abdominal wall.
