[Effect of some choleretics on the hepatic flow and its composition in man].
Four choleretics, selected at random from the German list of medical preparations, were tested with regards to their influence on hepatic bile production and bile composition. The investigations were performed on patients with a T-drainage in the ductus choledochus after bile duct revision. Bile was collected after fasting (90 min) and after administration of the drugs to be tested (3 hours). The choleretics were administered orally in a dosage two to five times more than the recommended one. Besides the bile volume bile acids, cholesterol, bilirubin, bicarbonate, potassium, sodium and calcium were determined. None of the parameters could be definitely influenced by these drugs. On the other hand a pronounced increase in the bile flow as well as the expected change in the other parameters could be observed after standardized secretion-stimulation which had been additionally carried out in half of the patients (dehydrocholic acid, i.v., taurocholic acid intraduodenally, secretin i.v., meals).
