Relationship of gallbladder emptying function and its hemodynamics in diabetic patients / 中国糖尿病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the relationship of gallbladder emptying function and its hemodynamics in diabetic patients. Methods Gallbladder volume ,emptying function and its arterial blood flow were measured by ultrasound. Results The gallbladder volumes of fasting (FV ) and postprandial (RV) increased and the ejection fraction (EF) of gallbladder was decreased in DM group than in NC group (P<0.01). In DM group ,the gallbladder artery’s resistance index (RI) was higher than in NC group [(0.61 ± 0.06) vs (0.70 ± 0.08)](P<0.01). Minimum diastolic blood flow velocity (Vmin) was lower than in NC group [(8.72 ± 1.43) vs (6.05 ± 1.89)cm/s](P<0.01). RI was associated with HbA1c (r= 0.827 ,P< 0.01) and LDL‐C(r= 0.820 ,P< 0.01). Conclusion Gallbladder emptying dysfunction in diabetic patients is associated with the hemodynamics of gallbladder.
