Gene testing for gallstone risk after weight-loss surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how certain genes affect the risk of developing gallstones after weight-loss surgery. It may help identify who needs gallbladder monitoring or treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had weight-loss (bariatric) surgery.
- You did not have gallstones or your gallbladder removed before that surgery.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if two types of ultrasound scans can help see the gallbladder and liver better in people scheduled for weight loss surgery. It may lead to safer procedures.
This study looks at how your gut bacteria and gut chemical products change after treatment for gallstones. It may help researchers understand what drives symptoms and recovery after surgery and/or endoscopic procedures.
This study looks at how blood sugar responds after bariatric surgery (or related surgery) and whether changes can be measured over time. It may help doctors better understand which people respond best after surgery.
This study looks at how fat build-up in the liver relates to metabolism in people who are scheduled for weight-loss (bariatric) surgery. By doing special blood tests and MRI scans, researchers hope to better understand liver health and improve care.
This study tests how a special diet after weight-loss surgery affects gut bacteria, eating habits, and sense of taste and smell. Researchers want to see if this diet can improve long-term results.
This study looks at how your genes might affect how much weight you lose after gastric sleeve or gastric bypass surgery. You may be able to help doctors better predict weight loss results for future patients.
