    Advancing Age Female OCP Obesity and Metabolic Syndromes Hyperlipidemia Syndromes Rapid Weight Reduction

    Uploaded by

    Michael Sedano
    This document outlines several risk factors for gallstone formation including advancing age, being female, use of oral contraceptive pills, obesity, metabolic syndromes, and hyperlipidemia. It then provides a pathophysiological diagram showing how hypomotility of the gallbladder, accelerated cholesterol crystal nucleation, and hypersecretion of mucus in the gallbladder can lead to cholesterol stone formation due to supersaturation of bile with cholesterol. The stones may then cause pain, nausea, vomiting or jaundice if they become dislodged into the common bile duct.
