Well, the title of your post is "inflamed gallbladder". So i'm assuming that they took an ultrasound or ct scan in the hospital and it showed that her gallbladder was inflamed and that's why they took it out.

the nurse said no stones were found but it was inflamed. Does anyone have an idea what caused it to be inlamed?

My gallbladder was inflamed as well & I did not have stones. The scientific name for what I had was chronic cholecystitis. Had it out this past april. They really had no idea how it had become inflamed, possibly because I had cholesterol polyps on the inside, but they really don't know. Only that apparently it had been that way for a few years or more, as it had adhesion's all over it. They had a hard time getting it off my liver, which means it had been that way for awhile.


Your mums pathology report, when it comes back, may give better insight into a possible cause.


Take care,

My right side below my ribs has been hurting badly for 2 days on and off. It worsens when I eat and radiates towards my navel and back . I am 40 yrs old could this be gallbladder?
