Ultrasonic evaluation of the gallbladder in sickle cell disease

R W Holt et al. J Natl Med Assoc. 1979 Oct.

Abstract

The gallbladder is frequently diseased in sickle cell anemia. The distinction between cholecystitis and the abdominal crisis of sickle cell disease is difficult to make. Ultrasonography permits a rapid evaluation of the gallbladder in sickle cell disease.
