Gallstones

Gallstones are solid particles that form in the gallbladder, primarily composed of cholesterol or bilirubin. They can lead to significant clinical issues, such as biliary colic, cholecystitis, or pancreatitis, necessitating timely diagnosis and management. A key association is obesity, which increases the risk of cholesterol gallstone formation, highlighting the importance of lifestyle factors in prevention and treatment strategies.
