What is cholecystitis with cholelithiasis?

Answer 1

Kidney stones are solid accumulations of material that form in the tubal system of the kidney. Kidney stones cause problems when they block the flow of urine through or out of the kidney. When the stones move along the ureter, they cause severe pain.

A gallstone is a solid crystal deposit that forms in the gallbladder, which is a pear-shaped organ that stores bile salts until they are needed to help digest fatty foods. Gallstones can migrate to other parts of the digestive tract and cause severe pain with life-threatening complications.

Answer 2

A gall stone is in your gall bladder and a kidney stone is in your kidney.

Your gall bladder is an organ in your body that stores bile and releases it into the small intestine to help digest and absorb fats. Gall stones are most often a result of too much cholesterol in your body. Cholesterol is one of the components of bile and too much of it builds up over time in your gall bladder. Typically a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) is required for treatment of gall stones.

Your kidneys remove extra wastes and water from your blood. They basically make urine. No one really knows what causes kidney stones, but if you have a family history of kidney stones or have had chronic UTIs (urinary tract infections) you may have a higher chance of getting one or two. Most oftentimes the only time you will know if you have a kidney stone is if it's beginning to "pass". That is, your body is attempting to force it to leave via your urinary tract, and it's QUITE painful.
