Use of gas chromatography method in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with acute cholecystitis (a review of references)

The diseases of the biliary system are among the common and serious problems in modern gastroenterology. The high growth of acute cholecystitis (AC) in Russia has become the basis for the study of pathogenesis, clinics, diagnosis and treatment of this pathology. The main role of disorders of lipid metabolism is proved in the occurrence of cholesterol gallstones. Now the attention of researchers is drawn to the problem of violations of the relationship between blood lipids, and bile as one of the main causes of cholelithiasis [14]. The study of bile components and their relationship is topical at stone formation in the gall bladder and ducts [15]. The method of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry can be applied fordetermination the quantitative and qualitative composition of bile. By means of GC-MS various parts - fatty acids (FA), lipids, carbohydrates, amino acids, nucleic acids components and other macromolecules of microorganisms can be identified. The recent data on prevalence, methods of diagnosis and treatment of patients with acute cholecystitis are summarized in this review of references.
