Description
Background: One of the most common gastrointestinal ailments and a major financial strain on the healthcare system is gall stone disease. Gallstone formation is facilitated by the bile becoming concentrated and the gallbladder not emptying completely and frequently. Aims & Objectives: In the current study, we sought to examine the clinical characteristics of cholelithiasis and their relationship to histological results. Material and Methods: The current investigation was an observational, prospective, hospital-based study that examined patient gall bladder samples who had already received a cholelithiasis clinical diagnosis. Results: There were 200 total specimens examined. In the fourth decade, there were the most cases. 64 men (32%) and 136 women (68%) participated in our study. With a male to female ratio of 1:2.1, there were more females than men. With a ratio of 5.6:1, non-vegetarians were more negatively impacted than vegetarians. In our study, 35% of subjects with a BMI >30 kg/m2 were obese. In 110 patients (or 55%), pain in the right hypochondrium was the most prevalent symptom. In 80% of the instances, multiple stones were the most frequent stones seen. Gross examination revealed that the gall bladder was thicker in 57% of cases. In our investigation, the gallstones ranged in size from 0.2 to 3 cm, with the majority measuring 0.2 cm (25%). In our investigation, chronic nonspecific cholecystitis was the most prevalent lesion, occurring in 80% of cases. The most frequent types of stones in patients with chronic nonspecific cholecystitis were mixed stones (71%). In follicular cholecystitis, pigment stones were common (8%); in xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis, both pigment and cholesterol stones were present (1%). Conclusion: Females and non-vegetarians are more likely to have cholelithiasis. The bulk of the instances had multiple stones, and biochemical research revealed that most of the stones were mixed varieties.
