Abstract :

Introduction: biochemical characteristics of gallstone depends on the type of gallstone which in turn is influenced by geographical location as prevalence of the disease is different among different population groups .

Aim: to study the correlation between biochemical profile of the patient with biochemical profile of gallstones.

Materials & methods: it is a cross sectional prospective study. Serum biochemical profiling together with chemical analysis of gallstone was done of all 100 patients under study .

Results and conclusion: chemical analysis showed differences in the quantitative composition of various types of gallstones. Significant association between serum cholesterol level and occurrence of cholesterol type stone ,inverse association between serum HDL levels and occurrence of cholesterol type stone was found. Correlation between serum and stone parameters revealed a moderately positive correlation for serum cholesterol and cholesterol content of mixed type of stone.
