Effect of PGE, on the composition of secretin and pancreozymin-stimulated bile in cholecystectomised patients

ABSTRACT

This study was done on 10 patients [one male and nine females] complaining of chronic non-calcular cholecystitis. Cholecystectomy and canulation of the common bile duct were performed. On the 4th postoperative day a bile sample was collected under basal condition. Then pancreozymin was infused [1 ug/kg body weight] diluted in 250 ml saline where the 2nd sample was collected. The 3rd bile sample was taken after infusion of PGFE2. For all samples, cholesterol level, phospholipids, bilirubin, sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium were estimated. The results were analyzed
