Gall bladder emptyng in diabetics with gall bladder disease

ABSTRACT

Gallbladder diseases increase 2-3 folds in diabetics than non diabetics, this explained by impairment of Gallbladder motility, at the same time non surgical approaches needs sufficient gallbladder motility, thence we arranged this study to determine the gallbladder emptying in diabetics [group I IDDM group II NIDDM] with gallbladder disease. 80 patients of both types of diabetes with gallbladder diseases as well as 13 healthy persons as a control subjected for estimatims of fasting and residual gallbladder volume and efection fraction by ultrasaugraphy at the end al this study we found a significant increase in the fasting and residual gallbladder volume as well as significant decrease in gallbladder ejection fraction which means that there is impairment in gallbladder motility which may explain the highe incidence of gallbladder diseases in diabetes and we suggest the addition of caspride for diabetes patients to prevent this impairment in gallbladder motility, to facilitate the choice of non surgical approaches to gallbladder diseases
