A gallstone, (gôl"ston), is a lump of rock-like material that forms inside the gall bladder . Gallstones are formed as a result of precipitation of cholesterol and bile salts from the bile. Most bile is produced in the liver from cholesterol and concentrated in the gall blader. A person may have many gallstones. They usually range in size from a grain of sand to 1 or 2 inches. It is estimated that about 20 million Americans have gallstones. The incidence of gallstone formation increases with age, especially among women. ***Gallstones and kidney stones are not related. They are formed in different areas of the body. Symptoms of Gallstones? Often, there are no symptoms of gallstones. The gallstones lie quietly within the gall bladder and are usually found by chance. If a gallstone is obstructing the gall bladder, there will be severe pain in the upper right side of the abdomen. The pain will come and go in waves as strong muscular contractions. Strong muscular contractions occur because the body is trying to get rid of the obstruction. Other symptoms are: mild pain under the right ribs. This pain ususally occurs after eating fatty foods. It occurs after eating fatty foods because fat in the diet provokes a reflex contraction of the gall bladder.

The gallbladder is a small saclike organ in the upper right part of the belly (abdomen), under the liver , just below the front rib cage on the right side. The gallbladder is part of the biliary system, which includes the liver and the pancreas. The biliary system, among other functions, produces bile and digestive enzymes. Bile is a fluid made by the liver to help in the digestion of fats. It contains several different substances, including cholesterol and bilirubin, a waste product of normal breakdown of blood cells in the liver. Bile is stored in the gallbladder until needed. When we eat a high-fat, high-cholesterol meal, the gallbladder contracts and injects bile into the small intestine via a small tube called the common bile duct. There are 2 types of gallstones: cholesterol stones and pigment stones. Cholesterol stones are more common in the United States, making up about 80% of all gallstones. They form when there is too much cholesterol in the bile.

Bile salts break up fat, and bilirubin gives bile and stool a yellowish color. If the liquid bile contains too much cholesterol, bile salts, or bilirubin, under certain conditions it can harden into stones. The two types of gallstones are cholesterol stones and pigment stones. Cholesterol stones are usually yellow-green and are made primarily of hardened cholesterol. They account for about 80 percent of gallstones. Pigment stones are small, dark stones made of bilirubin. Gallstones can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a golf ball. The gallbladder can develop just one large stone, hundreds of tiny stones, or almost any combination. The gallbladder and the ducts that carry bile and other digestive enzymes from the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas to the small intestine are called the biliary system.

The caffeine in coffee has been associated with an increase in energy and alertness, and now a study says it may help reduce the risk of gallstones in men. Researchers found men who drank regular coffee filtered, instant or espresso had a lower risk of gallstone disease. "We found that men who drank two to three cups of coffee per day had about a 30 to 40 percent reduction in risk of gallstone disease and for men who drank four or more cups per day, the risk was cut in half," said Dr. Walter C. Willett of the Harvard School of Public Health. The 10-year study, published in the June 9 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, followed 46,008 men enrolled in the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study. The participants included dentists, veterinarians, optometrists, osteopathic physicians and podiatrists ages 40 to 75, with no history of gallstone disease.

Return to Federal Citizen Information Center Home Page What Are Gallstones? What Causes Gallstones? Who Is at Risk for Gallstones? ... Additional Readings 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 secrete bile into the small intestine at the proper time to help digest food. The gallbladder is connected to the liver and the small intestine by a series of ducts, or tube-shaped structures, that carry bile. Collectively, the gallbladder and these ducts are called the biliary system. Bile is a yellow-brown fluid produced by the liver. In addition to water, bile contains cholesterol, lipids (fats), bile salts (natural detergents that break up fat), and bilirubin (the bile pigment that gives bile and stools their color). The liver can produce as much as three cups of bile in 1 day, and at any one time, the gallbladder can store up to a cup of concentrated bile. As food passes from the stomach into the small intestine, the gallbladder contracts and sends its stored bile into the small intestine through the common bile duct. Once in the small intestine, bile helps digest fats in foods. Under normal circumstances, most bile is recirculated in the digestive tract by being absorbed in the intestine and returning to the liver in the bloodstream.
