A member asked:
Why is it more common for east asians to have intrahepatic calculi, as opposed to other people? dietary differences, racial differences?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
nobody really knows: There are several theories, including racial/genetic susceptibility, nutritional factors and concurrent infections with either bacteria or parasites, particularly ascariasis (a roundworm). They are also common in brazil, again for unknown reasons.
