The diminution of bile acid pool size in a study of 34 Chinese adults was apparently due to the loss of storage function of gallbladder rather than the cause of production of lithogenic bile. The common bile duct bile obtained from stone patients with nonfunctioning gall bladder had a relatively high lithogenic index, partly related to its low total lipid concentration. The loss of gallbladder function in mixed stone patients resulted in a decrease in relative concentration of cholesterol and an increase in the phospholipid content. There was no improvement of the lithogenic index of their biles.
