inc CHO, dec bile salts
12
how does inflm/debris lt gallstones
inflm/debris acts as a nuclei for stone, this debris collects percipitate forming around hub
13
how does E.coli/Strep faecelis lt gallstones

colicky, spasmodic pain, intermittent + radiating
23
what is pain in cholelithasis dt
contraction of duct where stone is located
24

29
what sx is common in cholelithasis
retrograde endoscopy
30
how does retrograde endoscopy work
pulls stone into duodenum of they can reach it
