    Pregnant patients undergoing ultrasound may have gallstones. A study found 11.3% of 142 obstetric patients had asymptomatic gallstones, suggesting routine gallbladder screening during pregnancy ultrasounds.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Radiology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Ultrasound is the primary imaging method for fetal examination during pregnancy.
    • Pregnancy is recognized as a potential risk factor for gallstone formation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the necessity of concurrent gallbladder ultrasound in pregnant patients undergoing routine obstetric scans.
    • To determine the prevalence of asymptomatic gallstones in obstetric patients.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 142 pregnant patients undergoing ultrasonic evaluation were assessed.
    • A simultaneous ultrasonic examination of the gallbladder was performed on all participants.

    Main Results:

    • Gallstones were detected in 11.3% of the studied obstetric patients.

  • The findings indicate a significant prevalence of asymptomatic gallstones in this population.

    • Conclusions:

    • Cholecystosonography (gallbladder ultrasound) should be integrated into routine ultrasonic examinations for pregnant patients.
    • Early detection of gallstones in pregnancy can inform clinical management and patient counseling.
