Risk factors for gallstone formation (age, sex, pregnancy, family history) and the characteristics of liver cirrhosis (Child class, inside diameter of portal vein), and gallbladder (wall thickness) were assessed.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Gallstones were found more often in cirrhotic patients (23.7%) than in controls (7.33%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.001). The prevalence of gallstones in decompensated cirrhotic patients was higher than that of the compensated cirrhotic patients (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.001). Advanced age, female sex, family history of gallstones, gallbladder wall thickness 4\u2003mm or greater and inside diameter of portal vein 13\u2003mm or greater were significantly associated with gallstone disease in patients with liver cirrhosis. Multivariate analysis revealed that age (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.001), sex (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.0005) and thickness (4\u2003mm or greater) of the gallbladder wall (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.0064) were independently associated with gallstone disease in such patients.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:\u2002<\/jats:bold> This study confirms the high prevalence of cholelithiasis in liver cirrhosis. Age and sex are risk factors for gallstones and gallbladder wall thickness could be an additional risk factor for the development of gallstone in patients with liver cirrhosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1440-1746.2006.04465.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,6,16]],"date-time":"2006-06-16T10:50:47Z","timestamp":1150455047000},"page":"1455-1458","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Factors influencing the prevalence of gallstones in liver cirrhosis"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Yong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dapeng","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qingyong","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chengxue","family":"Dang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wuke","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,7,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/gut.10.9.705"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"112","DOI":"10.1016\/S0016-5085(19)33357-8","article-title":"Increased incidence of cholelithiasis in Laennec\u2019s cirrhosis.
