title: [The bile acid and bile lipid spectrum of the migrant population of the Asian North with biliary tract diseases].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The study of biochemical bile composition in Asian North migrants with biliary diseases (BD).
  
  
  METHODS
  The diagnosis of BD was made upon clinical examination, ultrasound scanning, duodenal intubation in 329 examinees. The bile was examined for total bile acids, total cholesterol, total phospholipids and bile acid spectrum.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Cholelithiasis patients were found to have high index of bile cholesterol saturation, high level of deoxycholic acid and low ratio primary/secondary bile acids.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Changes in bile lipid spectrum are the leading cause of forming bile concrements in migrant population of the high altitudes.
