3. Causes of Biliary Dyskinesia
• The exact cause of biliary dyskinesia is unknown. One possible cause is an
underlying metabolic disorder that affects the movement of food through
the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It could also be caused by a problem with the
gallbladder itself.
• Biliary dyskinesia occurs mostly in older children and adults. It is a common
diagnosis in children. In some pediatric hospitals, biliary dyskinesia has
become the most common reason for gallbladder removal.
• Biliary dyskinesia is sometimes associated with a condition called
cholecystitis, a long-term condition involving inflammation of the
gallbladder.

7. When a person has symptoms like those of biliary colic along
with a normal ultrasound, additional criteria must be met.
These criteria include:
1. Episodes of pain lasting more than 30 minutes
2. Symptoms that come and go, occurring at erratic intervals
3. Pain that disrupts normal daily activities or is so severe that a person
seeks emergency medical care
4. Pain that gradually becomes continual
5. Pain that is unrelieved by interventions (such as changing positions or
taking antacids)
6. Symptoms that are not caused by another condition (such as
appendicitis)
7. Normal lab results (such as liver enzymes, bilirubin, and amylase and
lipase levels)
