Gallbladder stones develop due to the composition of cholesterol or pigments. 

Gallstones are basically hardened deposits of digestive fluid that can form in your gallbladder. Gallbladder stones develop due to the composition of cholesterol or pigments.

Your gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ on the right side of your abdomen, just beneath your liver. The gallbladder holds a digestive fluid called bile that's released into your small intestine.

Gallstones and their formation:

Gallstones are hardened deposits of bile that can form in your gallbladder. Bile is a digestive fluid produced in your liver and stored in your gallbladder. When you eat, your gallbladder contracts and empties bile into your small intestine (duodenum).

Gallstones range in size from as small as a grain of sand to as large as a golf ball. Some people develop just one gallstone, while others develop many gallstones at the same time.

People who experience symptoms from their gallstones usually require gallbladder removal surgery. Gallstones that don't cause any signs and symptoms typically don't need treatment.

Types of gall stones

Gallbladder stones are of two types mainly

Cholesterol stones: which are yellowish green in color and are the most commonly found.

Pigment stones: which are smaller and darker and are formed due to excess bilirubin in the bile.

Causative factors for gall bladder stones:

The most common reasons for this health condition are:

• Huge amount of Cholesterol stones that develop due to high cholesterol in your bile than your bile can dissolve
• Huge amount of bilirubin present in your bile which the gallbladder can’t break down.
• Being Over-weight or Under-weight
• Huge amounts of concentrated bile in the gallbladder.

Symptoms of cholelithiasis:

Gallbladder stones have no symptoms and people are unaware of the fact that they have them until and unless it hits you hard. Symptoms arise when the conditions get complicated and pain occurs. These are called attacks and they can occur at regular intervals. Pain happens when you consume foods that are high in fat. Although the pain may vary from person to person, usually it targets the right shoulder or back.

Diagnosis of Gall Bladder Stones:

• Ultrasound: This is the fastest method to see inside one’s body and to confirm that you have gallstone disease as it shows abnormalities associated with acute cholelithiasis.
• Abdominal CT scan: An imaging test that takes specialized X-rays of your liver and abdominal region.
• Gallbladder radionuclide scan: You are injected with a radioactive substance that travels through your blood to the liver and gallbladder to reveal any blockage.
• Blood tests: The blood tests show the amount of bilirubin in your blood, the functioning of the liver and any other signs of infection.
• Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): Here, the doctors make use of a camera and X-rays to view the condition in the bile and pancreatic ducts.
