A main group consisted of 30 cases. 2-4 pregnant patients in control group were corresponding with each case from main group. Basic significant prognostic factors of cholelithiasis and cholecystitis were determined. They are: fat-rich diet (OR=5.00), feeding irregularity (OR=5.78), visceral obesity (OR=2.67), artificial abortion (OR=3.25); among notable abdominal symptoms during pregnancy are heaviness sensation in right lateral region (OR=406.0), dull ache sensation in right lateral region (OR=196.0) and heartburn sensation (OR=14.50). Thus, revealing the anamnestic risk-factors related with pregnancy and delivery on any stage of pregnancy will be very useful for prevention of cholelithiasis and chronic cholecystitis.
