A member asked:
What are the causes of gallstones in unborn babies and what is the best treatment for it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No treatment needed: Fetal cholelithiasis is relatively common (1 in 300 pregnancies). It is caused usually by hemolytic conditions of newborns or maternal hemolytic anemias. The prognosis is excellent, with most stones gone by the babies' first year of life.
