What Causes Gallstones? Uncovering the Real Triggers
Gallstones Don’t Just Appear — Here’s Why They Form
When bile components like cholesterol, bilirubin, or bile salts go out of equilibrium, gallstones can develop. Excess cholesterol, which the liver excretes as bile, is the most frequent cause. Crystals develop and eventually become stones if there is insufficient lecithin or bile salts in the bile to breakdown the cholesterol. Excess bilirubin, which is frequently brought on by liver illness or blood problems, is another cause. Bile gets concentrated and more likely to form stones when it isn't routinely discharged from the gallbladder, as happens during fasting or abrupt weight loss.
