The gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ located in the small the right abdomen, and hidden under the liver. Gallbladder stores bile produced by the liver. During the meal, bladder bile will contract (shrink) so spend a little liquid bile brownish green in the small intestine. Bile useful in the absorption of fat and some vitamins, like vitamin A, D, E, and K. Bile is a mixture of bile acids, proteins, calcium salts, pigments and fatty elements called cholesterol. Some of bile entering the small intestine will be continued and expelled through feces.

The main disorders that can arise in the gallbladder are the formation of stone. This can also occur in the bile ducts. Gallstones caused by chemical changes in the bile someone.

Stone Bile is formed from the deposition of cholesterol, bilirubin pigments and salts calcium that hardens, but most of the gall-bladder stones formed of cholesterol. Incidence of gallstones would be a problem if the entry to a channel leading to the small intestine. Sometimes stones can be formed in the bile duct itself, such as former stitches in an operation.

In the gall-bladder stones can cause inflammation is called acute colestitis, this is because of gallstone fragments at the bile ducts that causes pain. Stones through can be related to the gallbladder in the liver and bile ducts, so stop the flow of bile into the digestive tract. In Besides, there are other factors that start the process the formation of gallstones. These elements can be contained protein the mucus fluid gallbladder formed in small amounts. This this allows cholesterol, bilirubin, and calcium salts to form solid crystalline particles. The shape of gallstones varies, the rock formed from cholesterol and shiny yellow such as oil, rocks composed of bilirubin pigment can be colored but hard black or dark brown, but fragile. Size also varies from small pebbles to registration, but the average diameter of 1 to 2 cm.

Although gallbladder disease show no symptoms, the condition worsening of symptoms is usually generated at mealtimes attack foods containing high fat, if someone is suffering from the rock bile. This happens because fat triggers the hormone stimulates gall bladder to contract, forcing bile stored in into the duodenum which is the way out to the small intestine, if the stone impede the flow of bile will be like symptoms of acute illness on the right side of the abdomen and towards the back, between shoulder and to the front chest. Other symptoms of colic, belching, flatulence, indigestion, sweating, nausea, vomiting, chills, body temperature rather high, jaundice (when gallstones block the channel bile), and brown feces.

Gallbladder stone disease and bleary tract is usually attacked people aged between 20 – 50 years. The disease is 6 times more often occurs in women until the age of 50 years. At the age of the same for both sexes. In addition, women who experience more than 2 times of pregnancy, the risk of getting gallstones more high. Obesity / overweight have a risk of suffering from gallstones more high compared with the no obesity. Some efforts prevention of gallstone formation that can be pursued, among others keep your weight in order to stay normal, lowers cholesterol, and consume foods that contain lots of fiber. But on the other hand, hard diet to lose weight quickly to stimulate liver to remove cholesterol in large numbers into the liquid bile can cause gallstones.

To find out if our bodies have a gallstone using gallstones detector, called ultrasound, which is the uses sound waves that cannot hear the ear. Waves this sound is directed into the body and the reflected wave were processed computers that will indicate whether or not gallstones. Addition gallstones can be identified through X-ray and blood tests in the laboratory.
