www.ahealthgroup.comCholecystitis is defined as an acute inflammation of the gallbladder wall (the green sac). This can be caused by a number of things contributing to it. This usually occurs when obstruction of the cystic duct occurs, causing the bile stored in the gallbladder to become stasis. Most occurrences of cholecystitis is from a blockage of some sort, acalculous cholecystitis (gallstones), or a bacterial infection.
