Dr. Yang Ziqi
Gallbladder wall irregularity refers to an uneven imaging appearance of the gallbladder duct or gallbladder wall observed on ultrasound. This condition may be caused by various factors, including but not limited to cholecystitis, gallstones, and gallbladder polyps. The main symptoms include right upper abdominal pain, which may progress to biliary colic, with pain radiating to the right shoulder and back, accompanied by fever, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension. Patients with gallbladder wall irregularity are advised to seek timely medical evaluation to determine the underlying cause and receive standardized treatment under a physician's guidance.
