There are three main causes of gallstones:

-Bile carries too much cholesterol— Also called cholesterol gallstones, they seem to be yellow.
-Bile contains excess bilirubin— conditions like liver cirrhosis, biliary tract infections, and some blood disorders can play a part in the formation of gallstones.
-The gallbladder does not empty properly.
