Acute cholecystitis and cholelithiasis are one of common health problems of Libyans. [1] Acute cholecystitis or bile gallbladder stones are one of the major surgical problems in the Libyan population and account for many hospital admissions and surgical interventions. This study was done to estimate causes and risk factors of AC among general population of Benghazi city in Libya. Reflux of pancreatic secretions into the biliary duct due to a defect in motility of gallbladder or biliary tree or spastic episodes of Sphincter Oddi may cause injury to gallbladder mucosa and biliary tract which may precipitate acute cholecystitis. Pancreatic biliary reflux (PBR) therefore may cause such reflux of pancreatic juice into gallbladder and biliary tract. This problem is probably related to obesity, cardiovascular disorders (CVD), metabolic syndrome, and dietary habits. Studies on gallstone composition carried out a close link with dietary habits and ethnicity. The biliary composition has been demonstrated by many researches for several years. Gallstone formation is relatively increased with consumption of dietary fats, age and gender.2-3 Estimation of pancreatic amylase in gallbladder bile as well as in serum of patients with acute cholecystitis (AC) may be considered as a biomarker of PB reflux. Serum and bile pancreatic amylase levels as marker for diagnosis of acute cholecystitis" by investigate biliary composition especial alpha amylase pancreatic, total amylase, liver enzymes estimation the correlation between  (AST, ALT, ALP and Bilirubin total, C-RP and lipid profile in gallstone disease patients and estimate the correlation between (Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, VLDL) concentration in serum and  biliary gallbladder, presence of gallstones, age, in both gender patient with gallbladder diseases.
