title: [The pathogenesis of liver functional disorders after cholecystectomy in cholelithiasis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study hepatic function after cholecystectomy and the role of absorptive-excretory function of the liver and hormonal factors in development of postcholecystectomy syndrome.
  
  
  METHODS
  106 patients long after cholecystectomy for cholelithiasis were examined for absorptive-excretory function of the liver and blood hormones (hydrocortisone, insulin, gastrin, thyroxine, triiodothyronine, thyrotropine). I-131-bengal-rose hepatography, dynamic hepatobiliscintigraphy with brommeside-Tc-99m, radioimmunoassay were employed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Impairment, often subclinical, of hepatic absorption and excretion after cholecystectomy was found in 94% of the patients. External function of the liver after cholecystectomy was disturbed depending on the condition of its absorptive-excretory function. Hepatic dysfunctions and changes in blood hormones correlated.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Absorptive-excretory function and hormonal factors are essential in pathogenesis of postcholecystectomy syndrome.
