Fasting volume was determined prior to the test meal while postprandial measurements were taken 15 and 45 minutes after the test meal. Gallbladder fasting volume was greater in patients with biliary obstruction than in asymptomatic and symptomatic patients (32.6 ± 7.3 mL, 29.8 ± 7.4 and 23.9 ± 4.6 mL respectively, p > 0.05). Ejection fraction(15 min) was significantly lower in biliary obstruction cases than in asymptomatic and symptomatic patients (%8 ± 11.6, %47.6 ± 5.7 and %42.6 ± 5.3, respectively) and 45. min values remained significantly lower in these cases than in asymptomatic and symptomatic patients (%14.5 ± 10.8, %56 ± 5.5 and %57.9 ± 3, respectively). Based on the above results, it is concluded that, gallbladder motility may be impaired secondary to obstruction in patients with cholelithiasis.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBiliary colicBiliary obstructionCholelithiasisGallbladder motilityArticle1043453482-s2.0-0033381424Q3
