ABSTRACT
The gallstones from 55 patients in Southern Thailand were analyzed to disclose the chemical components using infrared grating spectrophotometry. The main components were calcium bilirubinate, calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate, choleterol and protein inproportions 52.6, 5.5, 5.5, 30.9 and 5.5 per cent of stones, respectively. These proportions are not different from those of gallstones in the northern or central regions of Thailand.
