Why are gallstones harmful?
Answer
  • They release toxins into the gallbladder, which impairs the digestive system

Answer
  • They have gallstones lodged in the common bile duct
  • They have gallstones lodged in the hepatic duct
  • They have gallstones present in the body of the gallbladder
  • They are in what is known as a "Lithogenic" state, in which conditions favor gallstone formation
