Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Gallstones are among the most common gastrointestinal illness requiring hospitalisation. About 1 in every 10 adults has gallstones. Objectives: Gallstones are a major cause of morbidity throughout the world, with at least 10 % of the adults having gallstones with a recent rise in the incidence due to change in the dietary factors, study aimed to find chemical composition of gallstones. Results: 92% stones mixed stones. Pearson Correlation between biliary cholesterol, stone cholesterol and blood cholesterol is significant (0.727 and 0.419 correlation is significant at the 0.01 level, p value<0.001 significant) Conclusions: It is necessary to analyze the chemical composition of biliary stones in a group of patients, so as to make the case for introducing bile salt therapy
