Gallstones are collections of crystals, composed mostly of cholesterol and calcium salts, in the gallbladder or the bile ducts. They are the result of a prolonged over-acid diet. When the diet is predominantly acid, in order to conserve alkaline the body will reabsorb sodium, which is an alkaline mineral, from the bile thereby leaving the bile with an acid pH when it should be alkaline. As a result the bile begins to crystallize and form stones. Correction of these conditions requires adoption of healthy eating and lifestyle practices so that the bile can return to alkaline again.

Alcohol Autoimmune Cancer Cirrhosis ... Wilson's Disease Gallstones Overview Gallstones are lumps of solid material that form in the gallbladder. They usually look like small stones or gravel and can be as small as sand or as large as pebbles, sometimes filling the gallbladder and may take years to grow. The commonest ones are made up of cholesterol, which is a fat. Others are known as pigment stones and consist of calcium and red blood cells, which have broken down and solidified. The gallbladder is a small pear shaped pouch about three to six inches long. It is tucked just under the liver below the right rib cage and is connected to the intestine and liver by small tubes called bile ducts. Bile ducts carry bile, a greenish-brown fluid which is made in the liver. Bile acts like a detergent, breaking up fat from the food we eat into small droplets. It also enables the body to absorb vitamins A, D, E and K. Bile is concentrated and stored in the gallbladder ready for use and is only released when we eat food. Approximately 1 in 10 people will develop gallstones or another gallbladder disease. Anyone can get them, but middle aged, overweight women are particularly likely to. It is not fully understood why some people have them and others don't but gallstones are more common in the following groups of people:

Gallstones form when bile stored in the gallbladder hardens into stone-like material. Too much cholesterol, bile salts, or bilirubin (bile pigment) can cause gallstones. About Gallstones There are two types of gallstones: cholesterol stones and pigment stones. Eighty percent of gallstones are cholesterol stones. The size of gallstones varies from a grain of salt to golf-ball size. A person can develop a single stone or several hundred. When gallstones are present in the gallbladder itself, it is called cholelithiasis. When gallstones are present in the bile ducts, it is called choledocholithias. Gallstones that obstruct bile ducts can lead to a severe or life-threatening infection of the bile ducts, pancreas, or liver. Bile ducts can also be obstructed by cancer or trauma. What causes gallstones? Cholesterol stones are believed to form when bile contains too much cholesterol, too much bilirubin, not enough bile salts, or when the gallbladder does not empty as it should for some other reason. Pigment stones tend to develop in people who have cirrhosis, biliary tract infections, and hereditary blood disorders such as sickle cell anemia. The causes of these stones are uncertain.

KEEFFE, M.D. Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California A patient information handout on gallstones and their treatment, written by Joseph Cooney, a medical editing clerk at Georgetown University Medical Center, is provided on page 1687. The accurate differentiation of gallstone-induced biliary colic from other abdominal disease processes is the most crucial step in the successful management of gallstone disease. Despite the availability of many imaging techniques to demonstrate the presence of gallstones, clinical judgment ultimately determines the association of symptoms with cholelithiasis and its complications. Adult patients with silent or incidental gallstones should be observed and managed expectantly, with few exceptions. In symptomatic patients, the intervention varies with the type of gallstone-induced complication. In this article, we review the salient clinical features, diagnostic tests and therapeutic options employed in the management of gallstones and their complications. (Am Fam Physician 2000;61:1673-80,1687-8.) G allstones are a major cause of morbidity worldwide, and cholecystectomy is the most commonly performed abdominal surgery in medicine. Gallstone-induced complications have a limited and overlapping pattern of clinical presentation.

Subscribe now >> Causes and Symptoms of Gallstones The gallbladder is a small pear-shaped organ located beneath the liver on the right side of the abdomen. The gallbladder's primary functions are to store and concentrate bile, and to secrete bile through small ducts into the small intestine to help digest food. Bile, a fluid produced by the liver, contains water, cholesterol, lipids (fats), bile salts (natural detergents that break up fat), and the bile pigment bilirubin. What are Gallstones? Gallstones are hard crystal-like particles that form in the gallbladder from substances in bile. Cholesterol stones are usually white or yellow and account for about 80% of gallstones. The other 20% of gallstones are small dark pigment stones made of bilirubin and calcium salts. Risk factors for pigment stones include cirrhosis, biliary tract infections, and hereditary blood cell disorders like sickle cell anemia. Gallstones may be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a golf ball. The gallbladder may develop a single large stone or many smaller ones, even several thousand.

(Illustration by Argosy Inc.) Definition A gallstone is a solid crystal deposit that forms in the gallbladder, which is a pear-shaped organ that stores bile salts until they are needed to help digest fatty foods. Gallstones can migrate to other parts of the digestive tract and cause severe pain with life-threatening complications. Description Gallstones vary in size and chemical structure. A gallstone may be as tiny as a grain of sand or as large as a golf ball. Eighty percent of gallstones are composed of cholesterol. They are formed when the liver produces more cholesterol than digestive juices can liquefy. The remaining 20% of gallstones are composed of calcium and an orange-yellow waste product called bilirubin. Bilirubin gives urine its characteristic color and sometimes causes jaundice Gallstones are the most common of all gallbladder problems. They are responsible for 90% of gallbladder and bile duct disease, and are the fifth most common reason for hospitalization of adults in the United States. Gallstones usually develop in adults between the ages of 20 and 50; about 20% of patients with gallstones are over 40. The risk of developing gallstones increases with ageat least 20% of people over 60 have a single large stone or as many as several thousand smaller ones. The gender ratio of gallstone patients changes with age. Young women are between two and six times more likely to develop gallstones than men in the same age group. In patients over 50, the condition affects men and women with equal frequency. Native Americans develop gallstones more often than any other segment of the population; Mexican-Americans have the second-highest incidence of this disease.

But most stones are mixed twenty-five percent of stones are pigment stones containing bilirubin, calcium and other organic material. The gall bladder is the sac attached to the underside of the liver and it stores the bile that the liver produces. When you eat a meal, especially one high in fat, the gall bladder squirts the bile (which aids in digestion of fats) into the bowels. Gallstones can then, sometimes quite slowly, form in the gall bladder. Almost all stones form within the gall bladder. A gallstone can get stuck in the bile duct which can contract around the gallstone, causing abrupt pain or what is known as biliary tract pain felt in the right upper quadrant. The pain can go up to the shoulders or radiate to the back as well. In most cases the situation resolves either on its own or with the help of a narcotic injection.

Cholelithiasis is the formation or presence of calculi or bilestones (gallstones) in the gallbladder or common duct of the gallbladder.

But not all patients with gallstones experience cholecystitis. Gallstones are concretions formed in the gallbladder or bile ducts. Traditionally gallstones have been classified according to their composition. This information was then used to demonstrate the cause of the stone formation. This is no longer considered valid. Generally the core of all gallstones contains a mixture of cholesterol, bilirubin, and protein. Back to Top Symptoms In acute cholecystitis there is fever, gradually developing or sudden pain in the upper abdomen, nausea, vomiting, visible jaundice in about 25% of patients. Frequently pain is referred to back or right shoulder. Approximately 10% of the patients do not have pain.
