Abstract
So-called authors’ lithogenic bile [Ch> 7.5 mg/ml, (TBS + PL)/Ch weight ratio< 20] corresponds to the bile which falls well above the micellar zone boundary on triangular coordinates with high concentration of cholesterol. The authors supposed that, in man like hamsters and squirrel monkeys, in the process of alimentary formation of cholesterol gallstones gallbladder bile of which cholesterol concentration was high, and (TBS + PL)/Ch ratio was as low as that of gallbladder bile with cholesterol gallstones seemed to be lithogenic.
