| Popis: | Objective: In our study, the effects of factors related to portal hypertension on gallbladder wall thickness and motility in chronic liver patients due to hepatitis B were investigated. At the same time, it was aimed to investigate the effects on antrum wall thickness and stomach motility. Method: 10 patients without portal hypertension findings were included in the study as control and 20 patients with portal hypertension were included as the case group. The gallbladder and antrum wall thickness, postprandial gallbladder volumes and ejection fractions were measured by abdominal ultrasonography, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 120 minutes after the test meal. Results: 15 of the patients were classified as Child Pugh A (50%), 10 as Child Pugh B (35%), 5 as Child Pugh C (15%). It was shown that ejection fraction rates increased and gall bladder volumes decreased in time in both groups. It was shown that gallbladder wall thickness change in cirrhotic patients increased statistically significantly at 30 and 90 minutes compared to the control group. It was shown that the rate of change in antrum wall thickness in patients with cirrhosis significantly increased at 15, 30 and 120 minutes. Conclusion: Increased gallbladder wall thickness and decreased motility were found in chronic liver disease. It has been shown that portal hypertension alone is not responsible from these results. It was found that there was no difference in terms of gall bladder hypomotility in chronic liver patients with and without portal hypertension. In gallbladder hypomotility and bladder wall thickening, decreased reserve due to liver failure associated with portal hypertension, hypoalbuminemia, and bile stasis are known important causes. However, we think that further studies should be carried out, as it suggests that neurohumoral factors other than portal hypertension may also be responsible. |
