Popis: The gallbladder is an organ that plays an important role in maintaining effective enterohepatic circulation (EHC) of bile and preserving the metabolic homeostasis of lipids and bile acids. Despite modern ideas about the role of the gallbladder in the human body, especially in subjects with metabolic syndrome and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), cholecystectomy (CE) remains one of the most common surgeries, including in this patient category. The review examines the following in patients with NAFLD: the gallbladder role, the association between NAFLD and cholelithiasis (C), indications for CE, as well as the consequences of this intervention. The authors discuss the issues of patient management with NAFLD after CE. Patients with C and NAFLD who have undergone CE need a number of diagnostic measures aimed at identifying and timely correction of disorders, as well as complex treatment, which includes the risk factors elimination, strict adherence to diet, exercise regime, the use of drugs improving the EHC state, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, the metabolic function of hepatocytes and inhibiting the liver fibrogenesis. KEYWORDS: cholecystectomy, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, cholelithiasis, ursodeoxycholic acid, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance.
