Abstract

Rationale:  At present, the  metabolic  syndrome and  pathophysiology  of non-alcoholic  fatty  liver disease, as well as identification of factors that may  influence  the  rate  of development of dystrophy and fibrosis in the liver are in the focus of investigators'  attention. This study represents an attempt to  detail  metabolic  derangements and liver tissue  abnormalities  after  cholecystectomy in patients  with metabolic  syndrome  at baseline.

Aim: To study  the  influence  of cholecystectomy performed  at younger  age on the course of metabolic syndrome in women.

Materials and methods: This was a retrospective analytical study  in a sample  of 57 female  patients  with  metabolic syndrome (International Diabetes Federation criteria 2005) aged  from 18 to 44 years (young age according  to the World Health Organization definition). From those, 30 patients  with cholelithiasis were included  into the control group  and 27 patients  who  had  undergone  cholecystectomy in this age range were included into the comparison group. We analyzed  their past  history, results  of clinical examination, laboratory  tests, abdominal ultrasound  examination, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, hydrogen  respiration  test  with lactulose, as well as the results of needle  liver biopsy.

Results: Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis after cholecystectomy was associated with the excessive bacterial growth  in the small intestine  (р = 0.026), ultrasound signs of cholangitis (р = 0.041), and diarrhea syndrome (р = 0.027). Liver fibrosis was significantly more frequent in association with chronic diarrhea  (р = 0.034)  and  past  clinical signs  of post-cholecystectomy syndrome (р = 0.044). There was a strong direct correlation between the grade of fibrosis and  the  time  since  cholecystectomy (r = 0.77; р = 0.047).

Conclusion: Cholecystectomy performed  at young  age predicts  progression  of metabolic abnormalities  in women with metabolic syndrome.
