[Chronic cholecystitis--some lithogenic aspects].

A total of 100 patients were examined: 35 patients with biliary dyskinesia, 44 patients with chronic acalculous cholecystitis, 21 patients with chronic calculous cholecystitis. The patients were evaluated clinically with investigation of motor-evacuation function of the gall-bladder, activity of inflammation in the gall-bladder, bile lithogenicity, morphofunctional characteristics of the stomach APUD-cells and degree of Helicobacter pylori contamination. Chronic calculous cholecystitis is characterized by clearcut symptoms, hypomotor dyskinesia, high cholesterol, signs of diffuse atrophic gastritis. Chronic acalculous cholecystitis with hypomotor dyskinesia was accompanied by mild intoxication, presence of C-reactive protein, high cholesterol, diffuse atrophic gastritis.
