    Pathophysiology: Decrease Bile Acid Synthesis

    Uploaded by

    Jim Christian Ellaser
    Gallstones form through a process where bile acid synthesis decreases and cholesterol synthesis increases in the liver, leading to supersaturation of bile with cholesterol and the formation of precipitates known as gallstones. This causes pressure obstruction of bile flow and stasis, resulting in decreased fat emulsification and symptoms like abdominal pain, fever, jaundice, and inflammation that can progress to conditions such as cholecystitis or pancreatitis if left untreated.
