Overview
It has long been noted that gallbladder stone formation is associated with bile supersaturation, and this still remains the most common cause for gallstone formation.[1]
Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis[edit | edit source] The exact pathogenesis of [disease name] is not fully understood. OR
It is thought that [disease name] is the result of / is mediated by / is produced by / is caused by either [hypothesis 1], [hypothesis 2], or [hypothesis 3]. [Pathogen name] is usually transmitted via the [transmission route] route to the human host. Following transmission/ingestion, the [pathogen] uses the [entry site] to invade the [cell name] cell. [Disease or malignancy name] arises from [cell name]s, which are [cell type] cells that are normally involved in [function of cells]. The progression to [disease name] usually involves the [molecular pathway]. The pathophysiology of [disease/malignancy] depends on the histological subtype. Genetics[edit | edit source] [Disease name] is transmitted in [mode of genetic transmission] pattern. Genes involved in the pathogenesis of [disease name] include [gene1], [gene2], and [gene3]. The development of [disease name] is the result of multiple genetic mutations.
Associated Conditions
- Diabetes mellitus type 2
- Obesity
- Pregnancy
- Gallbladder cancer
- Gallbladder polyps
- Primary sclerosing cholangitis
- Porcelain gallbladder
- Rapid weight loss
- Constipation
- Eating fewer meals
- Low intake of:
On the other hand, wine and whole grain bread may decrease the risk of gallstones.[5]
Gross Pathology
On gross pathology, multiple small stones are commonly found or less commonly a solitary stone is seen. The smaller stones represent a higher morbidity since they can easily occlude the biliary tracts.[7]
Microscopic Pathology
On microscopic histopathological analysis, variable evidences of inflammation can be noted transmurally including neutrophils, which are characteristic in gallstone disease.[8]
