摘要
BACKGROUND Gallstone disease is more common in women than men. Pregnancy is a known risk factor for developing gallstones.(1) We wanted to assess the prevalence of biliary sludge and gallstone disease during pregnancy. METHODS The study was done on 600 pregnant women from community with gestational age upto 25 weeks. It is a retrospective study. Ultrasound images and reports were reviewed. RESULTS The prevalence of biliary sludge and gallstones during pregnancy was found to be 1.3% and 2.7% respectively. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of either biliary sludge or gallstone among pregnant women with gestational age of upto 25 weeks was 4%. The prevalence of gallstone disease increased with increased parity.
