Abstract
"Low phospholipid associated cholelithiasis" (LPAC) syndrome is an important differential diagnosis in younger patients with biliary symptoms after cholecystectomy and concomitant elevated serum liver tests. Typical symptoms include recurrence of biliary colics after cholecystectomy, echogenic material in the intrahepatic bile ducts, intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy or cholestasis under hormonal contraception and a family history of gallstone disease. Patients with LPAC syndrome can be successfully treated with ursodeoxycholic acid
