Relation between gallstones & uric acid levels/future gallbladder operation side effects.
by Vans69, Dec 29, 2008 03:07PM
Hi, I was wondering if there isn't a direct relationship between the occurence of galbladder stones, producing insufficient bile, which I would believe could be the cause of higher uric acid levels, resulting in gout attacks. I also wanted to know if there are any future side effects because of the removal of the galbladder, thx.

Future side effects of gallbladder removal can include Post-Cholecystectomy Syndrome as well as an increased risk of colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, and chronic pancreatitis.
If the gallbladder does not have stones, there is a failure rate of 40%; the symptoms that prompted the surgery will NOT be relieved.
Many thanks to Michele and Bev of the Sphincterofoddi_pancreatitis Yahoo! group!
All the best,
