Gallstone disease does not occur without a characteristic cause. If the stones in the gallbladder or its ways are formed, it means that the body has been disturbed by cholesterol and bilirubin metabolism. Due to the violation of the metabolism of these substances, outflow of bile is difficult, bile stagnates, and stones are formed from it.

Accordingly, stones in the bile can have different composition: they can consist of bilirubin, cholesterol, and potassium salts. As a rule, stones form in the gallbladder, and people can not feel them for a long time, even their whole lives.
