7. Complications
While biliary colic is not usually dangerous to people, it can lead to some potentially serious complications in some cases. This is usually the case if the blockage has been in place for a long time. One potential problem this can result in is cholecystitis; a condition that has already been addressed in this article.
Another potential problem is pancreatitis. This is a painful and potentially serious condition that can be life-threatening in some cases. With the potential complications of biliary colic in mind, it is a good idea to get the condition checked out by medical professionals as soon as possible.
