title: [Functional state of the adrenal cortex in calculous cholecystitis complicated by mechanical jaundice in elederly patients].
abstract: The functional status of the adrenal cortex in 26 elderly patients suffering from calculous cholecystitis complicated with mechanical jaundice has been studied.
