Types of gallstones
Types of gallstones that may form within the gallbladder include:
- Cholesterol gallstones: The foremost common form of gallstone called a cholesterol gallstone often appears yellow. These gallstones are composed mainly of undissolved cholesterol but may contain other components.
- Pigment gallstones: These dark brown or black stones form when your bile contains an excessive amount of bilirubin.
Complications
Complications of gallstones may include:
- Inflammation of the gallbladder: A gallstone that becomes lodged in the neck of the gallbladder can cause inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis). Cholecystitis can cause severe pain and fever.
- Blockage of the bile duct: Gallstones can block the tubes (ducts) through which bile flows from your gallbladder or liver to your intestine. Severe pain, jaundice and common bile duct infection may result.
- Blockage of the pancreatic duct: The pancreatic duct consists of a tube that runs from the pancreas and connects to the bile duct just before entering the duodenum. Pancreatic juices, which aid in digestion, flow through the pancreatic duct.
- Gallbladder cancer: People with a history of gallstones have an increased risk of gallbladder cancer. But gallbladder cancer is extremely rare, so even if the chance of cancer is elevated, the likelihood of gallbladder cancer continues to be very small.
