[Effect of Archman health resort factors on the bile chemistry of chronic cholecystitis patients].

During remission, patients (n-83) with chronic cholecystitis showed the presence of lithogenic bile, a disorder which was eliminated under the action of Archman (the Turkmenian SSR) health resort factors. The efficacy of health resort treatment manifested itself in the improvement of the patients' clinical status, normalization of the kinetics of the gallbladder and bile chemistry. The choleretic and cholelytic properties of Archman mineral water permit recommending its use both for the purpose of correcting bile lithogenicity and prevention of the lithogenesis.
