R Maqsood, and S J Zuberi, and H M Nizami, and S A Chaudhry

The levels of cholesterol, calcium and bilirubin were determined in the serum and gall stones in 47 cases with cholelithiasis. The mixed stones were observed in 87.5%, high cholesterol stone in 8.5% and high bilirubin stones in 4.2%. Serum and stone cholesterol levels were inversely proportional and the bilirubin levels were directly proportional to each other.
