What are the causes of gall bladder stones?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Please read the MRCP report and help me understand the findings. In a recent USG done for some other reasons, it was found that there are gall bladder stones measuring 0.74 inches. No complications or symptoms otherwise.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

The reviewed your attached report is for creatinine (kidney function test) and electrolytes, along with urea levels add (attachment removed to protect the patient’s identity).

I was unable to see your liver function tests. Please send the file again, or send another file, so that I can review your liver function tests.

I hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you so much.

I am very relieved to know this. Liver function tests were done already. I will share them here too. They seemed normal.
