ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

The aim of this study was to examine the etiology of gallstones in children and responses to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) treatment.

METHODS:

74 children with cholelithiasis were recruited, and underwent ultrasonography to detect gallstones. All relevant clinical information was recorded in a structured proforma.

RESULTS:

The commonest risk factor was a family history of gallstones. Most children responded to UDCA treatment in the first six months; children with hemolytic diseases showed no response to UDCA.

CONCLUSION:

UDCA treatment may be useful before surgery in asymptomatic patients of cholelithiasis without hemolytic diseases.
