What is the worst possible outcome someone could have from a bad gallbladder attack?

Question

My grandfather has diabetes and last night he suffered from a bad gallbladder attack. What is the worst that could happen? (No jokes please)

Answer 1

I just went to the hospital for a gallbladder infection. The worst that can happen is that they operate and remove the gallbladder.
Hope this helps hon!
PS. The cramps are terribly painful

Answer 2

If not treated it is theoretically possible for the gall bladder to burst, thus spreading the infection throughout the body cavity. A real medical mess.

It's also possible to misdiagnose a gall bladder attack for something else like a gall bladder attack. He needs to see a doctor about it.

Answer 3

I had several attaks, the last one sent me to the hospital; my gallbladder were burst, my diaphragm was rupured, my longs were infected and begin to have peritonitis, Drs could not do laparoscopy, but have to cut me, I was 4 hours in the OR. and in critical room for 2 weeks, after that other 2 weeks in recup.

See medical advice soon, please, will you??????

Answer 4

My father died from a gallbaldder attacker. (Not to scare you). He had about 40 stones. But after the stones were removed it still spread to his pancreas (sp?). If they catch it in time, he will be ok. It all depends if it spread.
