Explanation:

Acute cholecystitis – inflammation/infection of the gallbladder. The ultrasound results are consistent with cholecystitis (thickened gallbladder wall).There are no blood tests provided that would suggest acute hepatitis or pancreatitis. Patients with a gallstone ileus have evidence of a bowel obstruction (nausea, vomiting, dilated bowel on x-rays). Acute cholangitis usually results in a dilated bile duct on ultrasound.
