Background: Bile is stored and concentrated in the gallbladder as food is being consumed. Bile acids regulate gallbladder function via the membrane bile acid receptor. By storing bile acids and changing their composition, changes in gallbladder motor activity can guard against a number of clinical disorders in addition to contributing to the development of gallstone disease.
Methods: This paper compiles studies conducted on Iraqi individuals suffering from gallbladder diseases and reviews the findings of these studies..
Results: In recent years, gallbladder stones have become increasingly widespread in Iraqi culture, and gallbladder illnesses have becoming more common among Iraqis. This review seeks to provide an overview of the many gallbladder conditions.In a number of Iraqi investigations, gall bladder disorders were associated with this condition, and it was discovered that there were more Gram-negative bacteria than Gram-positive bacteria. Other studies included some diseases that were linked to gall bladder disorders in these diseases. According to some research, there is a chance that some persons will have GBD, which is typically asymptomatic during pregnancy. Advanced maternal age, a prior history of GBD, and a positive family history may all raise this risk.
Recommendation: The statement calls for more research on gallbladder disorders among Iraqis and how they connect to intestinal disorders.
