- Abstract: Primary intrahepatic stones （PIS） is a refractory disease with a high incidence rate in Southwest China， which greatly affects the life of patients. Metabolites， such as β-glucuronidase produced by chronic biliary tract infection， play an important role in the formation of pigmented stones. In addition to exogenous β-glucuronidase produced by bacteria， endogenous β-glucuronidase produced by intrahepatic bile duct cells also plays an important role in the formation of stones. This article analyzes the research advances in the role of β-glucuronidase in the pathogenesis of PIS， in order to provide a possible method for the prevention and treatment of PIS.
