Introduction: Introduction: Gallstones are one among the common gastrointestinal illness requiring hospitalisation and frequently occur in middle-aged otherwise healthy people with a prevalence of 10 to 15%. Women are more frequently affected than men. Most patients remain asymptomatic from their gallstones and remain silent throughout life. One major factor contributing to cholesterol stone formation is high concentration of cholesterol and lipids in bile secretion from liver. Changes in human behaviour and lifestyle over the last few decades have resulted in a dramatic increase in the incidence of dyslipidaemia and gallstone disease worldwide.

Aim: To estimate the prevalence of dyslipidaemia in patients with gallstones.

Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was done on 82 patients who were admitted in a tertiary care centre with gall stone confirmed by ultrasound abdomen, during the period between November 2016 to October 2017. Patients with dyslipidaemia taking medicine were excluded. Data were entered in structured data sheet which includes all the variables and results were expressed in frequency and percentage.

Results: Forty-two patients were found to have dyslipidaemia and the prevalence was found to be 51.2%. Maximum prevalence of cholelithiasis was found in the 41-50 years age group (58.5%). Fifty-six were females (68.3%). Twenty-four patients had very high Serum Low Density Lipoprotiens (LDL) levels. Twenty-three had high levels of Triglycerides (TG) (28%). Six had very low High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) level (7.3%).

Conclusion: The prevalence of dyslipidaemia estimated was 51.2%. Of the fractions of serum lipids, the LDL and triglycerides level elevations was more commonly detected in patients with gall stone.
