Gallstones: A National Health Problem This year, over one million people in the United States will discover that they have gallstones. They will join an estimated 20 million Americans, approximately 10% of the population, who have gallstones. Gallstones form within the gallbladder. Cholecystectomy, the surgical removal of the gallbladder, is the most common surgical procedure performed in the United States. Approximately 500,000 persons will undergo surgery to remove their gallbladder this year simply because of gallstones.
Who is at risk to develop gallstones?
People with certain characteristics have been associated with the development of gallstone disease. These include:
  • People who are overweight
  • Older persons
  • Pregnant women
  • Women who use hormone contraceptives and post-menopausal hormones
  • Persons with a family history of gallstones
  • Persons of American Indian ancestry
  • Persons with diseases of the small intestine
  • Persons who have recently lost weight
The three most important risk factors for developing gallstone disease are body weight, increasing age and being female.

Gallstones To understand the nature of gallstones, it is helpful to first look at the anatomy of the gallbladder and bile ducts. The gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ that rests under the liver in the right upper abdomen. The liver produces bile, a yellow liquid needed by the intestine to help digest fat and oils. Ducts, or tubes, carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder and on to the intestine. Bile is stored in the gallbladder, which contracts periodically to force the bile into the intestine. How Do Gallstones Form?
Bile is composed of a variety of chemicals, including cholesterol, salts, and certain pigments. The gallbladder absorbs water from the bile, causing it to thicken. In some people, tiny crystals form from the cholesterol and pigments. These crystals gradually grow until one or even hundreds of gallstones develop. About 80 percent of gallstones are composed of cholesterol, while the remainder are made of pigments, salts, and other chemicals. Who Develops Gallstones?

Gallstones
Gallstones are solid lumps or "stones" which form in the gallbladder or bile duct. They are formed when some of the chemicals stored in the gallbladder harden into a mass. They may be as tiny as a grain of sand or as big as a golf ball, and resemble small stones or gravel. Some people get just one large stone, others may have hundreds of tiny ones. About 1 in 10 people over 50 in the UK have gallstones.
The gallbladder
The gallbladder is a small bag-shaped organ on the right hand side of the body, just below the liver. It stores a green liquid called bile, which is produced by the liver to help the body digest fats and other substances. When we eat, bile is released from the gallbladder into the intestines through a narrow tube called the bile duct.

Exercise may reduce gallbladder disease risk
September 8, 1999 Web posted at: 5:02 p.m. EDT (2102 GMT) (CNN) Gallbladder disease can be added to the long list of maladies that exercise can help prevent, according to a study in this week's New England Journal of Medicine. "We found women who engaged in two to three hours of moderate-intensity recreational physical activity per week were able to reduce their risk of gallbladder disease requiring surgery by 30 percent," said study leader Dr. Michael Leitzmann of the Harvard School of Public Health. Gallbladder disease occurs when too much cholesterol is in the bile, the digestive juice stored in the gallbladder. The cholesterol forms tiny particles in the gallbladder that eventually form stones. Gallstones can cause severe abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting.

What are gallstones?
The gallbladder is an internal organ just under your liver. It looks like a small "bag." It stores digestive juices that are made by the liver. Sometimes these juices become solid and form stones, called gallstones. Return to top
What problems can gallstones cause?
About 60% of people with gallstones never get sick from them. They might never know they have gallstones. However, a gallstone can leave your gallbladder and go into the passageway from your gallbladder to your intestine. It can get stuck in that passageway. If the stone completely blocks the passageway, you will have severe pain in the right upper part of your belly. You may also feel pain in your upper back. The pain usually starts suddenly and lasts for as long as 3 hours. This is known as an "attack." Complete or partial blockage can also cause your gallbladder to get irritated and inflamed. If this happens, you will usually have pain for more than 3 hours. You may also get a fever. Your skin may turn a yellowish color, known as jaundice (say "john-diss"). Return to top

Digestion Index Glossary
Gallstones (Cholelithiasis)
Gallstones are concretions that form in the biliary system, usually the gallbladder. Although rarely recognized in animals, they affect a very large number of people. In the US alone, it is estimated that about 20 million people have gallstones at any given time, resulting in expeditures of about $5 billion for diagnosis and treatment. A majority of cases are asymptomatic, but signs in clinicially affected patients range from mild abdominal pain or minor "indigestion" to excrutiating pain, often manifest at night. There are two major types of gallstones, which seem to form due to distinctly different pathogenetic mechanisms.
Cholesterol Stones
About 90% of gallstones are of this type. These stones can be almost pure cholesterol or mixtures of cholesterol and substances such as mucin. Stones recovered at surgery range from about 5 mm to greater than 25 mm in diameter. The key event leading to formation and progression of cholesterol stones is precipitation of cholesterol in bile. Unesterified cholesterol is virtually insoluble in aqueous solutions and is kept in solution in bile largely by virtue of the detergent-like effect of bile salts. This is however a rather precarious situation and several factors can tip the balance in favor of precipitation, including:
