An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out to characterize the patients ultrasonographic and clinically presenting vesicular lithiasis in Potosi, Bolivia. The target group included 7890 patients attending to the ultrasonographic services of three Community Comprehensive Hospitals from June 2006 to May 2008. The sample was comprised of 952 patients which ultrasonographic diagnosis revealed vesicular lithiasis. Female sex showed the highest frequency and ages from 60 years old or more prevailed. The majority of patients presented neither symptoms nor signs, those presenting symptoms complained of pain in the right hypochondriac region. Multiple lithiases prevailed regarding the number of calculi. Acute cholelithiasis was the most frequent complication found.Downloads
