Biliary Stone Disease

Biliary stone disease occurs when stones form in the bile ducts, obstructing the flow of bile from the liver to the intestine. Stones can range in size from as small as a grain of sand to as large as a marble, and they can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, jaundice, and other serious complications.

Causes:

1. Changes in Cholesterol Levels: High cholesterol levels in bile can lead to the formation of cholesterol stones.
2. Infection: Bile duct infections can contribute to stone formation.
3. Other Conditions: Conditions such as diabetes and fatty liver disease can increase the risk of stone formation.

Symptoms:

• Pain in the upper right abdomen
• Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
• Fever and chills
• Nausea and vomiting

Complications: If not treated promptly, biliary stones can lead to cholecystitis, pancreatitis, or severe infections.

Diagnosis and Treatment: Diagnosis of biliary stone disease typically includes ultrasound, CT scans, or MRI. Treatment may include:

• Endoscopic Procedures: To remove stones.
• Surgery: In cases of large stones or serious complications.
• Medications: To alleviate symptoms or prevent the formation of new stones.
