History of the patient is very important to recognize the gallstones (cholelithiasis). It plays 80% role to diagnose any condition. The gallstones may be asymptomatic.

Clinical examination plays 10% role. Deep tenderness is present at right hypochondrium. Increased temperature of the body is also a sign. Gallbladder may be palpable if distended  by an  impacted stone in its neck.

Multiple Gall Bladder Stones

Investigations play 10% role. Ultrasound of upper abdomen is a diagnostic tool of gallbladder stones. It shows presence of stones in the gall bladder with posterior shadowing. It also shows the anatomy of the gall bladder and the biliary tree and condition of the liver.

  2. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
