Stone Analysis – Gall Bladder
This test analyzes gallstones to determine their composition, which helps guide treatment decisions. Gallstones can be made up of cholesterol, bile pigments, or a mixture of both. The analysis is typically performed after gallstones are removed during surgery or if there is a suspicion of a specific type of stone causing symptoms. Identifying the type of stone can aid in understanding the underlying causes of gallstone formation and help in managing or preventing future episodes.
