Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason for the gallstone’s formation in obese patients.
Introduction:
The gallstone is a crystal composed of the cholesterol and the inorganic salts. It is a painful disorder and the factors responsible for it are obesity and the infection of the gallbladder. The cholesterol is a lipid molecule present in the membrane of cell and other body parts. It is insoluble in water and gets incorporated into micelles of bile salts and the phospholipids.
