How to prevent infection in Gallbladder?
Patient: I JUST HAD MY GALLBLADDER REMOVED YESTERDAY. I HAD GALLBLADDER STONES AND IT WAS VERY INFECTED. I AM DIABETIC, SO I DONT WANT TO DO ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE PANCEATITIS OR ANY PROBLEM TO OTHER ORGANS, SUCH AS MY KIDNEYS OR LIVER. WHAT CAN I DO TO PREVENT THAT? AND WHY WOULD IT CAUSE OTHER ORGANS TO BECOME DAMAGED? Doctor: Hello,Welcome to HCMThanks for posting your query in HCM.I understand your concerns.Stones in the gall bladder is formed due to various reasons like stasis of bile in the gall bladder for long lime or any hemolytic disorders.As you have already got your gall bladder removed,there is no need of worrying about damage to other organs.It wont have any effect on kidneys or liver or pancreas.But as you are diabetic,you need to control your blood sugar levels within normal limits.Diabetes itself can cause damage to various organs including kidneys.So, i would advice you to strictly stick on to the diabetic diet and follow.Hope you are happy with the answer.Thank you
