Biliary lipid composition in cholesterol microlithiasis.
BACKGROUND Little information is available on the pathogenesis of cholesterol microlithiasis, and it is not clear if biliary lipid composition in these patients is similar to changes seen in cholesterol gall stone patients. AIMS To measure biliary lipid composition in patients with cholesterol microlithiasis. PATIENTS Eleven patients with cholesterol microlithiasis, 20 cholesterol gall ston...
متن کاملCholesterol Microlithiasis: Bacteriology, Gallbladder Bile and Stone Composition
It is not known whether microcalculi possess structural differences compared with larger stones or whether they represent simply an earlier stage in stone disease. We carried out a controlled study on 10 patients affected by gallbladder cholesterol microlithiasis (CM). In all patients, samples from all parts of the stones were studied by X-ray diffraction and by infrared spectrophotometry. Bile...
متن کاملBiliary lipid composition in early childhood.
The biliary lipid composition was studied in 11 children without hepatic or gastrointestinal disease who ranged in age from 15 to 54 months. The molar percentages of cholesterol, bile acids and phospholipids in the biliary lipid mixture averaged 5.0 +/- 1.1; 80 +/- 6.1 and 15 +/- 6.2%, respectively. Cholic, chenodeoxycholic, deoxycholic and ursodeoxycholic acid comprised 48; 45; 4 and 3% of tot...
متن کاملBiliary lipid composition in idiopathic bile acid malabsorption.
BACKGROUND Chronic diarrhoea is the clinical hallmark of patients presenting with idiopathic bile acid malabsorption. Its pathogenesis is unknown; colonic water secretion can be induced by dihydroxy bile acids, but it is not known whether enrichment of the bile acid pool with these bile acids occurs in such patients. Furthermore, bile acid malabsorption is known to affect biliary lipid composit...
متن کاملBiliary lipid composition in monozygotic and dizygotic pairs of twins.
The relative contribution of genetic factors to biliary and serum lipid composition was studied in 17 monozygotic and 18 dizygotic middle aged male pairs of twins. Cholesterol precursors, squalene and Methylated sterols which reflect the activity of cholesterol synthesis were also measured. Pairwise intraclass correlations were determined for monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs and heritabilit...
