Abstract

Background: CIRRHOSIS, with an unknown mechanism, is a predisposing factor in BILIARY STONE formation, BILIARY STONE has been reported in 30% of the cirrhotic patients, however, no reliable data are exist here in Iran. Considering the complications of these stones, especially in the cirrhotic patients, which are among the most vulnerable groups, this study has been carried out to determine the prevalence of BILIARY STONE in cirrhotic patients.Materials and methods: This descriptive study has been conducted over 198 cirrhotic patients hospitalized in Taleghani hospital since 1995 till 1999. Results: 77% or the patients were male and the remaining 23% were female. Most of the individuals were aged 41-50 years. Hepatitis B was the most common etiology (50%). Among 198 cirrhotic patients; BILIARY STONE was reported in 15, biliary sludge in 7, and BILIARY STONE and biliary sludge together were found in 2. No significant correlation was established between the etiology of CIRRHOSIS and child grading with BILIARY STONE prevalence.Conclusion: In our study, the prevalence of BILIARY STONE in cirrhotic patients was much lesser than the previous ones, however, the reason of this significant difference is unclear. Further studies are strongly recommended in order to determine the role of interventional factors such as the etiology of CIRRHOSIS, age, diet and other unknown factors.
