Gallbladder Imaging Change By CT In Patients With Liver Cirrhosis

Objective: The study on Gallbladder imaging change in patients with liver cirrhosis and normal control group by CT is about the relationship between clinical classification,so as to provide reference basis for diagnosis,clinical treatment of liver cirrhosis.Methods: A 64-slice spiral CT scanner was used to perform contrast –enhanced abdominal scanning in 55 patients with liver cirrhosis(and the clinical classification of Child-Pugh)and 20 healthy volunteers(controls).Then in the corresponding browser(GSI viewer)software for post processing,measured the fossa of gallbladder size,the thickness of the gallbladder wall and there is no gallstone.Finally,the study analyses the gallbladder lesions on correlation of cirrhosis of the liver,and control,and liver cirrhosis group,between group.Results: 1)The phenomenon of expanded gallbladder fossa,gallbladder wall thickening,gallbladder stones in normal is rare,but is relatively common in cirrhosis;Liver cirrhosis group and normal group from the expanded gallbladder fossa of gallbladder,wall thickening and gallstone,there was statistical significance(P<0.05);2)In expanded gallbladder fossa,There was significant difference between group(P<0.05)and between within group there was no significant difference(P>0.0125);In gallstone there was no significant difference between group and within group(P>0.05);3)In the gallbladder wall thickening with liver cirrhosis,high level of incidence was significantly higher than low level,there between inter-and intra groups was statistically significant(P<0.05)..Conclusion: Expanded gallbladder fossa is a specific manifestation of liver cirrhosis,but had no correlation with the levels of Child-Pugh grading of liver cirrhosis;In patients with cirrhosis of the liver gallbladder wall thickening associated with Child-Pugh level,can be used as indicators for the evaluation of liver cirrhosis;Gallstone in cirrhosis was significantly higher than the normal population,and with the higher grade the higher incidence rate.
