Gall stones may be said to be contributing to varied pathology affecting gall bladder ranging from chronic cholecystitis to carcinoma. Cholelithiasis produces diverse histopathological changes in gall bladder mucosa namely acute inflammation, chronic inflammation, cholesterosis, hyperplasia and carcinoma. The study was performed on a group of 118 patients who were admitted in department of surgery for cholecystectomy (laproscopic) during period of 1 year and 16 days. Patients were divided in two groups based on S.Ferritin levels and histopathological examination of these patients was done. In both the groups, majority of subjects were diagnosed as chronic cholecystitis on histopathology. There is one interesting finding that acute cholecystitis is more in prevalent in iron deficient cases.A finding suggesting higher prevalence of acute cholecystitis in iron deficient case might indicate if acute cholecystitismay be prevented using iron supplements. To establish this correlation a study with large sample size may be done.
