What Is Cholecystitis?
8. Complications
Cholecystitis can cause serious complications if it is not treated in time, so it should be taken seriously. One such problem is that the gallbladder can become very swollen and, in extreme cases, this can cause it to become perforated. This can cause the contents to leak out, which can be very dangerous.
Cholecystitis can also lead to gangrene, which is when the organ’s tissues begin to die. It is a relatively common complication of cholecystitis and it will likely be fatal if not treated. Cholecystitis can also lead to potentially serious infections that can be dangerous to the patient’s very life.
