Gallstones in the gallbladder. The source of stones (calculous cholecystitis) is cholesterol, salts and other components of bile, which is formed in the liver and then accumulates in the gallbladder. Congestion of bile, inflammation in the wall of the gallbladder and ducts, hormonal and metabolic disorders contribute to the formation of gallstones. Also causes: starvation, sudden weight loss or, on the contrary, excessive body weight, even a sudden change of hormonal background (eg, pregnancy).
