Core Tip Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) predisposes patients to gallstone disease due to chronic hemolysis and elevated bilirubin levels. This review explores the pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and diagnostic strategies for hereditary spherocytosis-related gallstones. Key insights include the importance of ultrasonography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography for early detection, tailored management strategies such as splenectomy and cholecystectomy, and emerging preventive approaches, including lifestyle modifications, pharmacological therapies, and novel treatments like nanoprodrugs and probiotics. Addressing research gaps in genetic predisposition, microbial influences, and biomarkers will further enhance prevention and treatment, particularly in pediatric populations, emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach for optimized outcomes.
