cholecystokinase |
<enzyme> An enzyme catalyzing the hydrolysis of cholecystokinin. (05 Mar 2000) |
cholecystokinetic |
Promoting emptying of the gallbladder. (05 Mar 2000) |
cholecystokinin |
<chemical> A 33-amino acid peptide secreted by the upper intestinal mucosa and also found in the central nervous system. It causes gallbladder contraction, release of pancreatic exocrine (or digestive) enzymes, and affects other gastrointestinal functions. Cholecystokinin may be the mediator of satiety.

cholecystomy |
Incision into the gallbladder. Synonym: cholecystomy. Origin: chole-+ G. Kystis, bladder, + tome, incision Laparoscopic cholecystotomy, minimally invasive surgical technique for removal of the gallbladder that uses a laparoscope for visualization of the gallbladder and placement of instruments into the abdominal cavity through trocars, therefore avoiding the traditional incision. (05 Mar 2000) |
cholecystopaque |
A radiographic contrast medium that opacifies the gallbladder following oral administration, by virtue of hepatic secretion and gallbladder concentration; used in cholecystography. (05 Mar 2000) |

cholangiography
|
The testing of the biliary tree (commonly called a bile duct) by radiology. Intravenous cholangiography IVC, was a previously used method which has been largely replaced by cholangiography. There are at least two kinds of cholangiography:* percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC): Examination of liver and bile ducts by radiology accomplished by the insertion of a thin needle into the liver carrying a contrast medium to help to see blockage in liver and bile ducts. ...

cholecystitis
|
Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder. It is commonly due to impaction of a gallstone within the neck of the gall bladder, leading to inspisation of bile, bile stasis, and infection by gut organisms. Cholecystitis may be a cause of right upper quadrant pain. The pain may actually manifest in the right flank or scapular region at first. In severe cases, the gall bladder can rupture and form an abscess. ...
