Abstract:
Objective To understand the status of elderly patients with schistosomiasis liver diseases combined with gallblad-der diseases,and explore the influencing factors. Methods A total of 280 elderly patients with schistosomiasis liver disease were divided into two groups,198 cases of chronic liver fibrosis and 82 cases of liver cirrhosis,and the results of their gallbladder ultra-sound and liver function examinations were analyzed statistically. Results Among the 280 cases,157 patients were combined with gallbladder diseases(56.1%),including gallbladder wall thickening(28.2%,79/280),cholecystolithiasis(13.6%,38/280),cholecystitis(11.1%,31/280),and gallbladder polyp(3.2%,9/280). The incidence rates of gallbladder wall thickening, cholecystitis and cholecystolithiasis in the schistosomiasis patients with cirrhosis were significantly higher than those in the schisto-somiasis patients with liver fibrosis(χ2=4.568,P<0.05). Conclusion The main influencing factors of schistosomiasis liver dis-ease combined with gallbladder diseases are the age,the course of the disease,liver cirrhosis and the portal hypertension degree.
