| Popis: | Introduction Gallstone disease (GD) is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in the west and most of the countries worldwide. Cholelithiasis and diseases of the biliary tract are becoming more prevalent with the socioeconomic burden in developing countries like Pakistan. GD is a chronic, recurrent hepatobiliary disease, the basis of which is the impaired metabolism of cholesterol, bilirubin, and bile acids, which is characterized by the formation of gallstones in the hepatic bile duct, common bile duct, or gallbladder. Epidemiologic studies have shown that individuals with diabetes have a higher risk of cholelithiasis but only a few studies have been done in Pakistan to establish the association so far. Hence, the aim of the present study is to establish the association between diabetes and gallstone disease. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted at Liaquat University Civil Hospital, Hyderabad, Pakistan, between February 2017 and August 2017. Patients between the ages of 10 and 70 from either sex, who were diagnosed with cholelithiasis were included in this study whereas those patients who underwent cholecystectomy previously were excluded. Diabetic cases were identified based on fasting glucose levels (FGL) and the serum levels of HbA1c. An interview-based questionnaire was employed to collect the patient's demographic profile and risk factors by the students. Informed consent was taken from all the study subjects and the confidentiality of the data was ensured. Results From the sample size of patients evaluated (a total of 204), based on investigative studies performed, 74 cholelithiatic patients (36.6%) were found to concurrently have diabetes as well. Among the 74 patients with both cholelithiasis and diabetes type-2 (NIDDM), 56 were female and 18 were males. The rest of the patients with cholelithiasis were found to be non-diabetic (78 were males and 52 female). The majority of the GD patients (51 (25 males and 26 females)) in the study sample was in the 50-60 age group. The mean age of the patients was 43 ± 12.1. In this study, we measured the fasting glucose levels (FGL). According to World Health Organization (WHO) and American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria, we categorized 85 of the GD patients to be non-diabetic with serum fasting glucose levels between 70 and 100 gm/dL, and 45 patients were categorized to be in the pre-diabetic group with FGL levels between 100 and 126. Out of the 204 samples with GD, we found that 74 patients have diabetes, with serum FGL >126mg/dL. We measured HbA1c from each individual in the study sample. It was found that 79 patients had HbA1c levels |
