title: [Bile crystallography and viscosimetry in cholelithiasis].
abstract: High prevalence of cholelithiasis necessitates development of an easy screening diagnostic method, and therefore structural analysis of a dried drop of biological fluid attracts special attention. A new method, clinical crystallography, has been used for analysis of bile from patients with cholelithiasis. A relationship between the crystal morphology and biological fluid viscosity has been revealed.
