What Are Gallstones? What Causes Gallstones? What Are the Symptoms? How Are Gallstones Diagnosed? ... Points to Remember What Are Gallstones? Gallstones form when liquid stored in the gallbladder hardens into pieces of stone-like material. The liquid, called bile, is used to help the body digest fats. Bile is made in the liver, then stored in the gallbladder until the body needs to digest fat. At that time, the gallbladder contracts and pushes the bile into a tubecalled the common bile ductthat carries it to the small intestine, where it helps with digestion. Bile contains water, cholesterol, fats, bile salts, proteins, and bilirubin. 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

Return to Federal Citizen Information Center Home Page Printer-friendly page What Are Gallstones? What Causes 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.

5. Do Gallstones Always Need Surgery? Illustrated explanation of gallstones, gallbladder and surgery.Category Health Conditions and Diseases Gallbladder gallstones...... Recently my doctor diagnosed me with gallstones. Signed, Confused Dear Confused,Having gallstones doesn't always mean that surgery is indicated. http://www.drdaveanddee.com/gallstones1.html

Dear Dr. Dave, I'm confused. I've had abdominal pains for a number of years. Recently my doctor diagnosed me with gallstones. She referred me to a surgeon who recommended elective surgery. I can't decide whether or not to have the surgery. I've been told that's the only way to fix the problem. What's the gall bladder for? Do they have to take out the whole thing, or can they just remove the stones? Signed, Confused Dear Confused, Having gallstones doesn't always mean that surgery is indicated. The need for urgent intervention depends largely on the location of the stones, and whether or not the gallbladder is inflamed. If the stones have moved from the gallbladder and are blocking vital organs such as the liver or pancreas, or if the gallbladder is inflamed, then urgent intervention is indicated. But most of the time, people with gallstones aren't experiencing any of these complications. They have intermittent bouts of abdominal pain, which may be brought on by a fatty meal. The pain may last a number of hours, but then spontaneously goes away as mysteriously as it came, and stays gone for a period of days, weeks or months. These painful episodes with no other complications are called "biliary colic". Surgery for simple biliary colic is usually elective. Whether or not to have surgery for simple biliary colic is up to the individual patient. The benefits of getting rid of the intermittent pain episodes must be carefully weighed against the risks of having surgery. The only way to make this decision is to be completely informed. Always make sure and obtain from your physician a detailed explanation and analysis of the potential risks and benefits of any medical or surgical procedure before going ahead.

Klatt MD, University of Utah Health Science Center It is possible for a stone to exit the gallbladder via the cystic duct. It may then produce obstruction of cystic duct, or it may get into the common bile duct and obstruct that. It may obstruct at the ampulla of Vater and produce a pancreatitis. Biliary tract obstruction leads to jaundice with increased total and direct bilirubin in serum . Judging from the size of the stones, and from the number, those stones have been created inside liver, inside hepatic bile ducts, and then have rolled down to the gallbladder.
