Abstract

Introduction & Objective: Gallstones and its complications are the most gastrointestinal diseases that in most cases, it resulted in hospitalization and cholecystectomy. The aim of present study was to assess body mass index in patients with Gallstones and its complications that underwent cholecystectomy. Materials & Methods: 351 patients who were undergone cholecystectomy due to Gallstones and its complications were included in the present cross-sectional study. 201 patients (57.3%) who referred for biliary causes to surgery clinic were included in the control group and 150 patients (42.7%) were allocated to the case group. Results: Chronic cholecystitis with 110 cases (73.3%) accounted for the majority. About the variable body mass index, 9 patients of the case group (6%) and 15 patients of the control group (7.5%) had a body mass index greater than 30 kg per square meter (morbid obesity), but the association was not statistically significant (P=0.784). After examining LDL and HDL, there was no significant difference in LDL/HDL ratio with type of disease of case group. Conclusions: The results of present study showed that the prevalence of gallstones in patients with normal BMI was more than individuals with overweight and fat. In this geographical area, the prevalence of gallstones are depending on other factors such as pregnancies, the underlying chronic disease and blood diseases.
