What Is Cholelithiasis?
Cholelithiasis refers to the formation of gallstones, which are hard deposits that develop in the gallbladder. While the exact cause is not fully understood, factors such as excess cholesterol, bilirubin, or a dysfunctional gallbladder may contribute to stone formation. The gallbladder stores and releases bile for digestion, but when imbalances occur, gallstones can form, varying in size and number—from multiple small stones to a single large one.

What Causes Cholelithiasis?
In most cases, cholelithiasis is caused by excessive amounts of cholesterol in the bile that is stored in the gallbladder. The cholesterol hardens to form stone-like substances. Increased body weight and older age are associated with increased levels of cholesterol in the bile. Thus, gallstones are more likely to occur in women, in people who are obese, and in older individuals. Some gallstones develop because the bile contains too much bilirubin, a waste product of the liver that is a component of bile. Gallstones that develop from excess bilirubin are called pigment stones.
How is Cholelithiasis Treated?
Treatment of cholelithiasis begins with seeking medical care from your health care provider. To determine if you have cholelithiasis, your health care provider may ask you to provide blood samples and undergo diagnostic tests. Some people with cholelithiasis never have any symptoms. If you have symptoms of cholelithiasis, you may be hospitalized and given antibiotics to prevent an infection. Food intake is normally stopped, and intravenous fluids are administered to let the digestive system rest. You may also receive medication for the abdominal pain associated with cholelithiasis.
