When there is kidney damage or kidney disease, and the kidneys are not able to filter waste efficiently, there will likely be a rise in creatinine levels in the blood. For adults with kidney disease, dialysis is recommended when creatinine levels reach 10.0 mg/dL.
The two types of gallstones are cholesterol stones and pigment stones. Cholesterol stones are usually yellow-green and are made primarily of hardened cholesterol. They account for about 80 percent of gallstones. Pigment stones are small, dark stones made of bilirubin.
Gallstones are stones or lumps that develop in the gallbladder or bile duct when substances in there harden. Some of the chemicals which exist in the gallbladder, such as cholesterol, calcium bilirubinate, and calcium carbonate, solidify into either one large stone or several small ones. Pigment gallstones-these form when the bile has too much bilirubin. 2  They are more common among patients who have liver disease, infected bile tubes or blood disorders, such as sickle-cell anemia.
