A member asked:

Is my elevated cholestrol level and tgl levels r due to my gall stones. is there any inter related?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Elevated: cholesterol and triglyceride serum levels do not cause gallstones. It is marginally related to diet, but real cause is unknown, beyond the fact that it is probably genetic.
