Biliary dyskinesia
Biliary dyskinesia is a disorder of the gallbladder and the bile ducts that affects the movement of bile. This condition can cause a variety of symptoms, including abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.
Symptoms[edit | edit source]
The most common symptom of biliary dyskinesia is abdominal pain, which is often located in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen. Other symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, and a feeling of fullness after eating. These symptoms can be intermittent and may be triggered by eating fatty foods.
Causes[edit | edit source]
The exact cause of biliary dyskinesia is unknown. However, it is believed to be related to a dysfunction in the muscles of the gallbladder and bile ducts. This can lead to a disruption in the normal flow of bile, which can cause the symptoms associated with this condition.
Diagnosis[edit | edit source]
Diagnosis of biliary dyskinesia can be challenging, as the symptoms can be similar to those of other conditions. However, a HIDA scan is often used to diagnose this condition. This test measures the function of the gallbladder and can help to identify any abnormalities in the movement of bile.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Treatment for biliary dyskinesia often involves surgery to remove the gallbladder, known as a cholecystectomy. This can help to alleviate the symptoms of this condition. Other treatments may include dietary changes and medications to help manage the symptoms.
