胆结石分类研究进展

 胆结石病是世界范围内的常见病、多发病，流行病学资料提示其人群发病率约为10%。针对其病因和发病机制，国内外学者做了大量研究，虽至今仍未查明原因，但众多研究表明，不同类型的结石发病机制不尽相同。因此，胆结石的准确分类是研究其病因和发病机制的基础和前提。综述了国内外学者对胆结石分类研究的进展情况，包括根据不同的分类手段所进行的结石分类法，并对不同分类法进行了比较。

Progress of Gallstone Classification

Cholelithiasis is a worldwide common disease with a mean prevalence rate of 10%, according to epidemiological studies. Researchers from China and other countries have done many researches on the etiology and pathogenesis of gallstone, but it is still not well understood. However, many researches suggests that a different type of gallstone has a different pathogenesis, so accurate classification is the foundation and prerequisite of gallstone mechanism research. This paper discusses the progress of domestic and foreign researches on gallstone classification, including stone classifications based on different methods and a comparison of these classifications.
