ether and Gallstones

ether has been researched along with Gallstones in 8 studies

Ether: A mobile, very volatile, highly flammable liquid used as an inhalation anesthetic and as a solvent for waxes, fats, oils, perfumes, alkaloids, and gums. It is mildly irritating to skin and mucous membranes.
ether : An organooxygen compound with formula ROR, where R is not hydrogen.
diethyl ether : An ether in which the oxygen atom is linked to two ethyl groups.

Gallstones: Solid crystalline precipitates in the BILIARY TRACT, usually formed in the GALLBLADDER, resulting in the condition of CHOLELITHIASIS. Gallstones, derived from the BILE, consist mainly of calcium, cholesterol, or bilirubin.
