Abstract :

Diabetes mellitus refers to a group of common metabolic disorders that share the phenotype of hyperglycemia. Diabetes is an "iceberg" disease. Currently the number of cases of diabetes worldwide is estimated to be around 150 million. Gall stone disease is associated with approximate 50% patients of long standing type 2 diabetes mellitus. Prevalence of gall stone disease also varies in urban and rural population. There are a lot of risk factors for developing gall stone disease in which metabolic syndrome like diabetes is one of them. Our current study aims to check the overall prevalence of gall stone disease in Indian population and comparison of prevalence of GSD between rural and urban Indian population.
