Mr. Bakashi, if you have had gallstones diagnosed, what are the potential problems you can get with those? So, for a lot of patients, they will present with either biliary colic or acute cholecystitis. In a small group of patients, if the stones migrate, they can cause acute gallstone pancreatitis, which in a small group of patients can be very severe. patients, a small group will end up in ITU with multi-organ failure needing support. Or the stunts can cause obstructive jaundice that require additional invasive treatment to get rid of the stunts in the common bile duct. Thank you.
