• Too much cholesterol in bile - Usually liver excretes enough chemicals to dissolve cholesterol; but when the liver excretes more cholesterol, that bile cannot dissolve, it increases cholesterol level and the excess cholesterol may form into crystals & stones.
• Excessive bilirubin - When red blood cells break downs, they produce bilirubin. Still, in certain conditions, the liver produces too much bilirubin can cause liver cirrhosis or biliary tract infection, and excessive bilirubin contributes to the formation of gallstones.
• The gallbladder doesn’t empty correctly - When the gallbladder doesn’t empty, the bile accumulates in concentrated form which forms gallstones.
