Description
Cholecystectomy is surgery to remove the gallbladder, typically needed for gallstones or chronic inflammation, with costs ranging ¥1,500–¥4,500 (¥10,000–¥30,000) in China; ChinaMedicalHub helps coordinate hospital booking and interpreter support.
Main Uses
Cholecystectomy is primarily used for the treatment of gallstones, gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis), biliary dyskinesia, and gallbladder cancer. It is also performed in cases where there is a high risk of developing gallbladder-related complications.
Normal Range
For a cholecystectomy, there is no specific normal range as it is a surgical procedure. However, pre-operative tests like liver function tests (LFTs) have their own normal ranges: ALT (10-40 U/L), AST (10-40 U/L), ALP (40-129 U/L), and bilirubin (0.1-1.2 mg/dL).
Low Values - Possible Causes
Low values in LFTs are less common but can be due to: 1. Vitamin B6 deficiency, 2. Protein malnutrition, 3. Severe heart failure, 4. Hypothyroidism, 5. Use of certain medications.
High Values - Possible Causes
High values in LFTs may indicate: 1. Liver disease or damage, 2. Gallbladder disorders, 3. Biliary obstruction, 4. Alcohol abuse, 5. Medication side effects.
