Abstract

Cholelithiasis or presence of calculi/gallstones in the gallbladder occurs more frequently in pregnant women. Vitamin D deficiency is suggested to be associated with gallbladder stasis, and a role for vitamin D supplementation is thought to have potential to prevent gallstones in this special population.

Keywords: Gallstones; Pregnancy; Vitamin D deficiency.
