Question:

What are the clinical features of biliary pain?

Author: H K



Answer:

Biliary colic since pain is steady and not intermittent. Increases gradually over a period of 15 minutes to an hour, then resolves slowly. If it lasts more than 6 hours we have acute cholecystitis instead of simple biliary pain. Felt maximally at epigastrum , RUQ, LUQ, and precordium/ lower abdomen. May radiate to scapula/ right shoulder/ lower abdomen. and accompany diaphoresis/ nausea/ vomit.
