Lipids in biliary lithogenesis.

چکیده
Serum and biliary lipoproteins, total cholesterol (Tc) and triglycerides (TG) were measured in patients with gallstones and in those without gallstones. Serum and biliary LDLc, TG and Tc were significantly higher (P < 0.001) in cases having gall stones than those without stones while HDLc were low (P < 0.001) in those with stones. No difference was found in very low density lipoproteins (VLDLc) in the two groups. Present data showed that there is a statistically significant correlation of serum and biliary lipoproteins specifically LDLc and HDLc (r = +.67 and r = +.56). This report shows that serum HDLc (67.42%) and LDLc (70.28%) play a more critical role in comparison to total cholesterol (59.43%) and triglyceride (57.15%) levels in the formation of gallstone.

Biliary plastic stent as a matrix core for lithogenesis in the common bile duct: a rare cause of jaundice.
BACKGROUND The obstruction of the main bile duct by a foreign body, followed by lithogenesis at that level, is rarely encountered in the literature especially when the foreign body is a plastic biliary stent. We have not found referrals concerning the stone formation as a complication at the level of a biliary stent. CASE REPORT A 59-year-old female patient was referred with abdominal pain an...
متن کاملRisk factors and pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstones: state of the art.
The aim of this article is to present an update of selected aspects of the pathogenesis and risk factors of cholesterol gallstones, a highly prevalent Western disease. The etiology of cholesterol cholelithiasis is considered to be multifactorial, with interaction of genetic and environmental factors. Mechanisms of cholesterol lithogenesis include biliary cholesterol hypersecretion, supersaturat...

متن کاملHepatic biliary lipid secretion and gall bladder biliary lipid mass in gall stone patients: effect of ursodeoxycholic acid.
We have carried out overnight measurements of hepatic secretion rate and duodenal output of biliary lipids using a duodenal perfusion technique. We correlated these measurements with the fasting state mass of biliary lipids within the gall bladder on the following morning using a combined nasoduodenal intubation and isotope scanning technique. We studied six gall stone subjects before and durin...
متن کاملAging per se is an independent risk factor for cholesterol gallstone formation in gallstone susceptible mice.
Cholesterol gallstones occur rarely in childhood and adolescence and increase linearly with age in both genders. To explore whether aging per se increases cholesterol saturation of bile and gallstone prevalence, and to investigate age-related changes in hepatic and biliary lipid metabolism, we studied gallstone-susceptible C57L mice and resistant AKR mice of both genders fed 8 weeks with a lith...
