Abstract: 
Significant research has been dedicated in recent years to elucidating the pathophysiologic mechanisms behind gallstone development, but the epidemiology of gallstone disease has received comparatively little focus. Numerous studies have emphasized the correlation between metabolic syndrome and gallstones.
In this study, we found a positive correlation between complicated gall stones and metabolic syndrome. Hence, screening of obese patient or those with PCOS/uncontrolled diabetes, should be introduced in the protocol for facilitate early diagnosis of gall stones.
