Looks normal GB
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Based on the history you have provided about your Father, and Medical History of
Hypertension and
Diabetes.
The first thing I would like to know how is his Blood pressure and Blood Sugar Level. Both should be really under control for the best outcome of the
Pancreatitis or whatever we shall find on subsequent evaluation. Was this diagnosed and confirmed by
ultrasound / CT or MRI of abdomen and blood reports of serum amylase and Lipase? Or just by clinical suspicion?
By the reports you have posted . The
gall bladder (GB) looks normal- normal thickness, 'NO' stones (calculi); The distension is usually due to the patient is kept nil orally or may be due to edema of the pancreas, which USG should have reported. From this the gall bladder looks normal and Have they commented on CBD= common bile duct- as normal caliber or dilated or having stone/ obstruction?
With the present report there looks to be no need of gall bladder removal.
ERCP can be for diagnostic and / or therapeutic value for removal of stones in the CBD or
pancreatic duct if present.
I would suggest: please request for
second opinion of another expert before you say yes to any procedure, See that the blood pressure and diabetes are absolutely under control, Patient's medical condition to be stable.
You may please request for MRCP= Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography . This will give you and the Doctors the best idea.
Please feel free to ask for any further clarification and please post other reports ( as noted above) for me to help and guide you further.
Wishing your Father an early and complete recovery. The best center can be decided later if need be.
