Acalculous gallbladder disease: US evaluation after slow-infusion cholecystokinin stimulation in symptomatic and asymptomatic adults.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To evaluate the measurement with ultrasonography (US) of the gallbladder ejection fraction after slow-infusion cholecystokinin stimulation in patients with biliary symptoms and in individuals without symptoms. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Gallbladder volumes were calculated in 60 healthy volunteers after a 30-minute infusion of sincalide. The time to maximum response, the gallbladder ejection fraction, and the rate of initial contraction were obtained at US. A total of 100 symptomatic patients were evaluated with this technique. Reference standards included surgical outcome or results of clinical follow-up of at least 1 year. RESULTS:The average ejection fraction +/- 2 standard deviations was 80% +/- 30. A fraction greater than 60% was considered to be a normal response to cholecystokinin stimulation. There was no statistically significant sex difference. Slow infusion did not produce any side effects. A sensitivity of 75% and a specificity of 100% for determination of gallbladder ejection fraction at US were obtained in patients with surgical and histopathologic proof of disease. CONCLUSION:The slow-infusion method is reliable, safe, and reproducible in evaluating gallbladder contraction. The cholecystokinin-stimulated gallbladder ejection fraction test may be useful in determining which patients could benefit from surgery.
