Suggest Treatment For Suspected Gallbladder Billic Spasms
yes please
my Mom, 82, has been having episodes of what was suspected in her native of Bulgaria Gallbladder Billic spasms. Now they started becoming very frequent. I am afraid of raptured gallbladder. She is at a place without access to surgical medical care at the moment and we trying to see if we should take her back to Bulgaria for an operation.
The ALT/AST are pretty high (389/254 respectively, UI/L) and so is Gamma GT (154) and Phospahases Alkalines (219 UI/L). CRP (c-reactive protein) is also pretty hight 24.9 mg/L. All points to inflammation, but that could be just passing/rearranging of stones? She will have a ultrasound tomorrow, to take a loot at the abdomen. what are your thoughts how to distinguish/determine if she has perforated gallbladder right now or not?
