- White or mixed (pure or mainly cholesterol): 80% of UK gall stones occur when bile is super-saturated with cholesterol. (learnsurgeryonline.com)
- There are many risk factors for the production of cholesterol gall stones, which points to why cholesterol gall stones are so common worldwide. (learnsurgeryonline.com)
- Most gallstones are cholesterol stones, while the rest are composed of bilirubin (pigment stones) and other mixed components. (lecturio.com)
Inflammation1
- Mechanical irritation by gallstones can also produce chronic GB inflammation. (lecturio.com)
Cholecystectomy1
- A laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the treatment of choice for gallbladder diseases. (hvt-journal.com)
Choledocholithiasis1
- patients having choledocholithiasis, cholangitis, biliary fistula and surgical jaundice. (hvt-journal.com)
Commonly2

- It may occur as a complication of burns or multiple trauma, and patients are very ill on presentation. (learnsurgeryonline.com)
Complications2
- 50% of NAFLD patients could develop were specified prior to the literature search with complications as steatohepatitis, cirrhosis, fibrosis, Prospero (CRD42016032764). (egyptianjournal.xyz)
- This condition can present as a mild condition or as a severe disease (with complications such as gallbladder gangrene, perforation, empyema) which require emergent intervention. (lecturio.com)
Bile duct1
- If the bile duct does become completely or partially obstructed, the patient will also develop pale stools and dark urine (since bilirubin can no longer pass into the gut in the normal way). (learnsurgeryonline.com)
Asymptomatic1
- Surgery is not indicated in asymptomatic patients, except in some select groups (e.g. sickle cell disease). (learnsurgeryonline.com)
Adult1
- About 10-20% of adult population are diagnosed with gallstones (3). (hvt-journal.com)

Formation3

Include3
- Therefore, in conclusion, it is probably not unreasonable to include the advice of refraining from the cooking of food for optimal gallbladder distension prior to cholecystosonography. (docksci.com)
