Core Tip	We have identified a significant association between gallstone disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. This association is stronger in women with gallstone disease than men. Further, this association is strongest in the Caucasian population. It is believed that this association is due to both physiologic changes post-cholecystectomy as well as the presence of metabolic derangement common to the development of both disorders. Lifestyle modification, including weight loss, dietary alterations, exercise, decreasing alcohol intake, and screening for the development of hepatic malignancy are important in preventing the development/progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
