Background: To study and analyse serum lipid profiles in patients with and without gallstones. Materials & Methods: 30 patients who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Additionally, a control group of 30 in patients with no personal or family history of gallstones was recruited for comparison purposes. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. Results: A total of 60 subjects were included. The HDL level in both the groups was 30.5 and 42.06 and the p- value was 0.001. The mean triglyceride in case and control group was 202.42 and 174.84 with p- value 0.01. Conclusion: The serum triglyceride levels and serum HDL levels showed statistically significant differences in the gallstone patients when compared to the control group.
