Right Upper Abdominal Pain top 7 causes and treatment

Cholecystitis: The most common cause, it involves inflammation of the gallbladder, often due to gallstones blocking the duct, causing sharp, sudden pain that can radiate to the right shoulder or back. Murphy’s Sign: A clinical test for cholecystitis where pressing on the upper right abdomen causes sharp pain and halts breathing. Biliary Colic: Similar to cholecystitis but without inflammation or infection; gallstones temporarily block the duct, causing pain that usually lasts less than six hours and resolves on its own. Hepatitis: Liver inflammation, often due to viral infections (hepatitis A, B, or C), causes diffuse pain and symptoms like jaundice, fatigue, and dark urine. Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas, typically from gallstones or excessive alcohol consumption, causes severe pain that radiates to the back and worsens when lying down. Pneumonia and Pleurisy: Inflammation of the lower lung lobe can cause right upper abdominal pain, accompanied by respiratory symptoms like cough, fever, and shortness of breath. Liver Abscess: A rare cause of right upper abdominal pain that presents with fever, persistent pain, and malaise, diagnosed via CT scan or ultrasound. Peptic Ulcer: While usually causing central abdominal pain, duodenal ulcers can occasionally cause upper right pain, with a burning sensation often relieved by antacids. Diagnosis of Cholecystitis: Ultrasound is the primary diagnostic tool for detecting gallbladder inflammation and gallstones. Treatment for Cholecystitis: Surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) is required in 80 to 90 percent of cases, though early treatment may involve fasting, fluids, and antibiotics. Biliary Colic Treatment: Dietary changes (low-fat diet) and oral bile acid pills can help, but surgery is often recommended if symptoms persist. Pancreatitis Management: Patients require hospital care, with fasting and IV fluids to rest the pancreas, and surgery or endoscopic procedures to remove gallstones if needed.
