Other cholelithiasis is a condition in which bile, a digestive fluid, forms hard stones in the gallbladder or bile ducts. these stones can block the flow of bile, leading to pain, nausea, vomiting, and jaundice.
What happens during the disease - other cholelithiasis
Other cholelithiasis is a condition characterized by the presence of gallstones in the biliary tree. these gallstones are formed when bile becomes supersaturated with cholesterol, calcium, and other minerals. this supersaturation leads to the formation of crystals which eventually form into gallstones. these gallstones can cause a blockage in the flow of bile, leading to inflammation and pain in the abdomen. if left untreated, the condition can lead to further complications such as infection or pancreatitis.
