K80-K87: Disorders of gallbladder, biliary tract and pancreas
K82: Other diseases of gallbladder
The term "Other diseases of gallbladder" encompasses a variety of health issues that affect the gallbladder, a small organ located beneath the liver with the main function of storing bile. These illnesses often emerge as a result of functional abnormalities, infections, structural anomalies, or circulatory problems within the gallbladder. Symptoms typically include pain in the upper right abdomen, nausea, vomiting, and occasionally, changes in skin color (jaundice). These conditions may disrupt the normal flow and storage of bile, causing discomfort and potentially leading to significant health complications. The progression of these diseases varies from gradual to rapid depending on the specific condition and its severity. Conditions within this group mainly affect the digestive system, and in more severe cases, may also impact the circulatory system.
