Diffuse thickening of the gallbladder wall detected by ultrasonography.

Gallbladder wall thickening was detected by ultrasonography in 3.5% of 3900 patients. Wall thickening was observed not only in cholecystitis but also in cases of diffuse liver diseases, in patients with syndrome of portal hypertension, as well as in chronic heart insufficiency and other pathologies.

[Ultrasonic diagnosis of polypoid formations of the gallbladder].

Altogether 4000 patients were examined using an ultrasonograph Toshiba SAL 38AS working in the real time mode. 1.08% of the patients were diagnosed to have small polypoid formations of the gallbladder which, in many cases, could not be recognized at oral cholecystography.

[Diffuse thickening of the gallbladder wall detectable during echography].

Echographic examination of 3900 patients showed enlargement of the gallbladder wall in 3.5%. It was seen not only in cholecystitis but also in diffuse liver injury, portal hypertension, chronic heart failure and in other pathological conditions.

[Evaluation of the indicators of dynamic renal scintigraphy using the radiopharmaceutical preparation In-113m-DTPA in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis before and after heparin therapy].

In 70 patients with a morphologically verified diagnosis of chronic glomerulonephritis, functional computer-aided scintigraphy of the kidneys was performed before and after heparin therapy. Improvement in the scintigraphic parameters following heparin therapy was apparent as the reduction of the time of the radiopharmaceutical passage and the decrease of spastic excretory disturbances. A certain deterioration of the scintigraphic parameters after heparin therapy was found in patients with fibroplastic and focal sclerotic glomerulonephritis associated with renal insufficiency.
