| Abstract: | The authors suggest additional criteria evidencing inflammations in the gallbladder and colloid stability of the bile: bile acid absorption and cholesterol sedimentation coefficients. Derivation of these coefficients is based on biochemical examination of the bile with measurements of bile acid, cholesterol, and bilirubin concentrations in both portions. The results of examinations of 99 subjects evidence the diagnostic value and specificity of the characteristics, and availability of this method for clinical practice. |
