Research Notes on Gallstone Pancreatitis
Only 1 to 4 percent of the people effected with gallstones will develop symptoms of gallstone disease and only 5 percent of these will develop pancreatitis.1 Gallstone pancreatitis is caused when a migrating gallstone obstructs the ampulla of vater.1 These stones can block the flow of bile from the gallbladder and this is usually felt as pain in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen. 1
Fast Facts:
- Gallstones are collections of cholesterol, bile pigment or both, which can form in the gallbladder (cholelithiasis) or within the bile ducts (cholangitis) of the liver.2
- There are two types of gallstones: cholesterol and pigmented.2
- The most common gallstone in the U.S. is cholesterol and the most common found in Asia and Africa is pigmented made of bilirubin.2
