Cholelithiasis is the presence of one or more calculi (gallstones) in the gallbladder. In developed countries, about 10% of adults and 20% of people > 65 yr have gallstones. Gallstones tend to be asymptomatic. The most common symptom is biliary colic (that caused by spasm or obstruction of the biliary tract); gallstones do not cause dyspepsia (indigestion) or fatty food intolerance. More serious complications include cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder) ; biliary tract obstruction (from stones in the bile ducts or choledocholithiasis), sometimes with infection (cholangitis-inflammation of the bile duct); and gallstone pancreatitis. Diagnosis is usually by ultrasonography. If cholelithiasis (the presence of gallstones) causes symptoms or complications, cholecystectomy (excision of the gallbladder) is necessary.
