The article deals with the results of treatment of acute cholecystitis in 190 patients of the increased risk group. An urgent operation was performed on 25 patients, the others received intensive nonoperative treatment and were subjected to complex examination aimed primarily at assessing the hepatic function (ultrasonic examination with photometric determination of screen luminescent brightness, intraduodenal contact electrothermometry, plasma biochemical tests). In failure of this treatment 88 patients underwent transhepatic microcholecystomy, one-stage external-internal drainage was carried out in 43 patients. Operation was undertaken in the cold period in 104 patients; chloroform with procaine hydrochloride was administered through a catheter in 15 patients to dissolve gallstones.

With a new technique for the assessment of lipid peroxidation products in chloroform bile extracts it was possible to register an increase in the ratio malonic dialdehyde/phospholipids in patients with both calculous and acalculous cholecystitis. Bile of all patients with acute cholecystitis was characterized by a decrease in concentration of all the components, but use of relative parameters (malonic dialdehyde/phospholipids, index of bilirubin fractions and cholesterol/lecithin index) allows to verify the stage of the inflammation. The changes were unidirectional in B-bile and C-bile portions in all the patients with acalculous cholecystitis.
