Causes of gallbladder wall thickening

Gallbladder wall thickening may be caused by cholecystitis, gallstones, gallbladder cancer and other reasons.

1. Cholecystitis

is a common cause of gallbladder wall thickening. Because the gallbladder is stimulated by inflammation, it causes congestion and edema of the gallbladder wall.

2. Gallbladder stones When

stones appear in the gallbladder, stones stimulate the gallbladder wall, causing congestion and edema of the gallbladder wall, resulting in thickening of the gallbladder wall.

3. Gallbladder cancer

is a malignant tumor, which also causes thickening of the gallbladder wall, but this situation is relatively rare. In

addition, chronic diseases such as chronic hepatitis, chronic pancreatitis, and cirrhosis can cause chronic stimulation of the gallbladder wall for a long time, resulting in thickening of the gallbladder wall.
