[Diagnostic value of gamma-glutamyl transferase and alkaline phosphatase for cholecystolithiasis complicated with occult pancreaticobiliary reflux].

To explore the diagnostic value of the preoperative liver function for occult pancreaticobiliary reflux (OPBR) in patients with gallstones. Patients with gallstones in Shanghai East Hospital were enrolled from December 2020 to June 2021. Their intraoperative bile and clinical data were collected. According to the gallbladder bile amylase level, patients were divided into the OPBR group (bile amylase>110 U/L) and the control group (bile amylase ≤ 110 U/L). Preoperative liver function levels of the two groups were compared, and the differential parameters were accessed by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. And the risk factors for OPBR were tested by multiple logistic regression analysis. Among 249 patients, 83 were male and 166 were female, aged 50 (37, 62) years; There were 218 cases in control group, including 70 males and 148 females, aged 49 (36, 61) years; There were 31 patients in the OPBR group, including 13 males and 18 females, aged 58 (51, 65) years. For preoperative liver function, gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the OPBR group were higher than those in the control group [35 (18, 59) vs 19 (13, 34) U/L, 80 (71, 97) vs 69 (57, 83) U/L; both <0.01]. ROC indicated that preoperative GGT and ALP had important predictive values for OPBR in gallstone patients. Their respective optimal cut-off value and area under the ROC curve [AUC (95%)] were GGT ≥ 30 U/L, 0.656 (0.542-0.770), 0.005; ALP≥70 U/L, 0.693 (0.613-0.773), 0.001, respectively. In addition, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the levels of GGT [ (95%)=2.856 (1.260-6.473), =0.012] and ALP [OR (95%)=3.685 (1.314-10.333), =0.013] were independent-related factors for OPBR in patients with gallstones. Preoperative liver function assessment is of great significance for patients with gallstones, while GGT and ALP are important for predicting OPBR in patients with gallstones.
