AbstractSupersaturation of bile is a necessary prerequisite to gallstone formation. However, patients who have undergone a cholecystectomy do not form gallstones. This indicates a role of local factors in gallstone formation. Gallbladder stasis, mucin secretion, the presence of pronucleating and antinucleating biliary proteins, and some medications have been shown to alter gallstone formation. New data has also caused the role of bacterial infection in gallstone pathogenesis to be re-examined. In addition, genetic factors have recently been identified which may predispose to gallstone formation by altering the secretion of hepatic bile.
