Biological and test markers
12This visual map uses existing EH database links to show biological agents and lab markers reported as increased, decreased, or associated with this condition. These are educational relationships only; test results must be interpreted by a qualified clinician because ranges vary by lab, method, age, sex and clinical context.

Introduction / full article
Chronic Cholecystitis
Efficacy of Alternative and Other Treatments According to GRADE* Ranking:
Neural Therapy:
Please note, this management does NOT treat the condition itself. It is proposed only as a weak supportive symptomatic support, and even then, has insufficient evidence to back up this claim at present.
Recommendation: no recommendation (there is insufficient evidence to show that Neural Therapy helps in treating Chronic Cholecystitis in any way)
Grade of Evidence: very low quality of evidence
