Aim: To study hepatic function after cholecystectomy and the role of absorptive-excretory function of the liver and hormonal factors in development of postcholecystectomy syndrome.
Materials And Methods: 106 patients long after cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis were examined for absorptive-excretory function of the liver and blood hormones (hydrocortisone, insulin, gastrin, thyroxine, triiodothyronine, thyrotropine). I-131-bengal-rose hepatography, dynamic hepatobiliscintigraphy with brommeside-Tc-99m, radioimmunoassay were employed.
Results: Impairment, often subclinical, of hepatic absorption and excretion after cholecystectomy was found in 94% of the patients. External function of the liver after cholecystectomy was disturbed depending on the condition of its absorptive-excretory function. Hepatic dysfunctions and changes in blood hormones correlated.
Conclusion: Absorptive-excretory function and hormonal factors are essential in pathogenesis of postcholecystectomy syndrome.

Biochemical and immunological studies were performed to study hepatic function in 137 patients, out of whom 74 were found to have aspirin-induced bronchial asthma, 23 atopic bronchial asthma, 23 infectious allergic bronchial asthma, 17 chronic persistent hepatitis. Cholestatic and hepatodepressive syndromes and hepatic detoxifying and absorptive-excretory dysfunctions were detected in patients with aspirin-induced bronchial asthma. As aspirin-induced bronchial asthma progresses, the rate of hepatobiliary dysfunctions increases, which undoubtedly plays a prominent role in the development of the disease.

In patients with mechanical jaundice the absorbing-eliminating function of the liver is disturbed at early stages of the disease and these disturbances progress at longer terms of the disease. The restoration of the absorbing-eliminating function of the liver was noted in the process of percutaneous transhepatic drainage of the bile ducts.

The results of the radionuclide method showed disturbed liver function in 51 (46.3%) patients with polycythemia, in 4 patients with myelofibrosis and in 3 with erythrocytosis which were characterized by a decrease in hepatocytic absorptive-excretory function and a decrease in the activity of the reticulo-histiocytic stroma.

It was established that absorptive-excretory liver function and the concentration ability of the gall bladder decreased in noticeable thyrotoxicosis and moderate hypothyrosis. Hypermotor dyskinesia of the gall bladder and hypertension of the biliary tract sphincters were revealed in more than half of the patients.
