UNDERSTANDING GALLBLADDER STONES

CAUSES OF GALLBLADDER STONES

  1. Too much cholesterol in bile – crystals form and turn into stones.
  2. Too much bilirubin – seen in liver disease, infections, or blood disorders.
  3. Poor gallbladder emptying – bile stays too long and stones form.
  4. Obesity / high-fat diet – increases cholesterol in bile.
  5. Rapid weight loss – bile imbalance during quick fat breakdown.
  6. Pregnancy – hormones slow down gallbladder emptying.
  7. Family history / genetics
  8. Certain medical conditions – diabetes, liver disease, hemolytic anemia, etc.

The classic “4 F’s” for gallstone risk factors are:

Female – women are more likely due to hormones.
Forty – risk increases after age 40.
Fat – overweight or obesity raises cholesterol in bile.
Fertile – pregnancy/multiple pregnancies increase risk
