Eat a healthy diet: There are various factors associated with the formation of gallstones. Obesity is one of them. To prevent gallstones, you need to maintain a healthy weight, eat healthy diet and exercise regularly. Add more fruits and vegetables in your diet and avoid saturated fats. Increase fiber in your diet and limit the use of sugars. Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water daily.

Answer 8

Surgery: Once the gallbladder doesn't work it is time to remove it. Nothing can change that although there are some expensive medicines that can help them dissolve.

Answer 9

Heredity, Diet, etc.: If you have a first-degree relative with gallstones, you have a 5-fold increased risk of developing gallstones. The gallstones that we see most commonly in the US are very rare in non-western countries; we believe this has to do with our high (saturated) fat, high-cholesterol diet. Women have a higher risk of gallstones, especially after pregnancy and estrogen use.

Answer 10

Women: Obese, middle aged, out of shape and a few with chemical- bilirubin issues. Men and others are not immune, just a bit less frequent.

Answer 11

Not exactly known: Exactly why people get gallstones is not fully known. Ethnicity, older age, female gender, hormone therapy, high fat diet, obesity, rapid weight loss, diabetes, high triglycerides, and lipid-lowering medication can increase your risk. Cholesterol stones form when bile contains too much cholesterol, too much bilirubin, or not enough bile salts, or when the gallbladder does not empty efficiently.

Answer 12

Diet and heredity: It is multi factorial. Diet plays a large role, but so does factors you can't control. Being female, overweight, fertile, and rapid weight loss are well known factors. Additionally, blood disorders such as hemolytic anemias place patients at risk. That being said, the presence of gallstones alone is not an indication for surgery, it is only when those stones cause symptoms.

Answer 13

Cholesterol, pigment: Gallstones contain variable amounts of bile pigments, cholesterol, calcium salts, and their core usually consists of bile pigments or mucoprotein, which is secreted by the inner lining of the gallbladder. the composition of gallstones is affected by age, diet and ethnicity. On the basis of their composition, gallstones can be divided into cholesterol stones, pigment stones, and mixed stones.

Answer 14

Cholesterol usually: The most common component of gallstones is cholesterol. Occasionally they are comprised of bile pigments if there is an underlying hematologist disorder such as sickle cell disease. I hope that helps.

Answer 15

Supersaturation!: Bile consists of a mixture of cholesterol, bile pigments, and phospholipids. If any of these increase, they can precipitate out and become solidified, forming stones. This is present in 10-20% of people in the US, although usually "silent". Heredity, diet, and age can all play a role.

Answer 16

Sludge: Concentrated bile in the gallbladder solidifies, and gathers in a lump. Most are just agglutinations and can become rounded as rolling together cholesterol-large solitary can also occur bilirubinate.
