Risk Factors
Those people with a history of gallbladder issues or gallstones can be at a higher risk of developing choledocholithiasis. Even when you had the gallbladders removed, the risk is still possible. Other risk factors include pregnancy, lack of physical activity, sudden weight loss, extended fasting, obesity, and a high-fat, high-calorie, or low-fiber diet. You can adjust your lifestyle to reduce these risk factors. Some genetic factors that cannot be adjusted include age, gender, family history, and ethnicity.[5]
