Study the concentration of blood sugar and electrolytes in gallstone patients' pre- and post- cholecystectomy

Abstract

This study was conducted to find the change in blood sugar and electrolytes for the gallstone patients who undergo cholecystectomy (both type's laparoscopy and open laparotomy). Serum electrolytes included: sodium, potassium, and calcium. This study included 120 patients (92 female and 28 male), aged between (16-65).Two samples were taken from the patients (first sample pre cholecystectomy, and the second sample after 2 weeks of it. The result showed Fasting blood sugar increased significantly (p≤ 0.05) in females group pre cholecystectomy comparing to after it, while there was no significant difference in males group. For serum electrolytes Results showed a high significant increase (p≤ 0.01) in sodium and potassium concentrations pre cholecystectomy comparing with their concentrations after it, while there was a high significant decrease in calcium concentrations (p≤ 0.01) before operative comparing to after it.The aim of this study: is to study the concentration of serum glucose and electrolytes in gallstone patients and their effect pre and post cholecystectomy.
