Abstract

The frequency of clinical symptoms of intestinal dysfunction and endoscopic picture at patients with a chronic cholecystitis were determined. It was shown that in 30,6 % patients with chronic noncalculous cholecystitis and in 92,5 % with chronic calculous cholecystitis the chronic colitis is registered. It was demonstrated that decreased number of motilin- and substance P-producing cells in the small and large intestine and bacterial overgrowth are risk factors of cholelithiasis.
