Although gallbladder motility (GM) plays a role in cholesterol gallstone (GS) pathogenesis, its role in the development of biliary symptoms is still debated. GM in symptomatic (S) and asymptomatic (AS) GS patients is evaluated and GM differences in relation to biliary symptom frequency are assessed. Recent biliary symptoms seem to be present with GS with high % emptying (%E), but not with low (%E). If these findings are confirmed in a longitudinal study, the finding of a high %E during GM evaluation could be predictive of biliary pain, which might help physicians in clinical decision making.

Abstract
Although gallbladder motility (GM) plays a role in cholesterol gallstone (GS) pathogenesis, its role in the development of biliary symptoms is still debated. GM in symptomatic (S) and asymptomatic (AS) GS patients is evaluated and GM differences in relation to biliary symptom frequency are assessed. Recent biliary symptoms seem to be present with GS with high % emptying (%E), but not with low (%E). If these findings are confirmed in a longitudinal study, the finding of a high %E during GM evaluation could be predictive of biliary pain, which might help physicians in clinical decision making.Pubblicazioni consigliate
