In five patients with radiolucent gallstones, the effect of ursodeoxycholic acid (Urso) in doses of 250,500, 750, 1,000, and 1,250 mg per day on biliary lipid and bile acid composition was studied. Biliary cholesterol decreased from 8.8 f 0.8 mole% to 4.4 f 0.2 mole% at 500 mg Urso per day (7.1 mg p
