Resumen

VILELA DESPOSORIO, Carlos David; AURAZO ZAPATA, Giancarlo Moisés  y  ABANTO VAELLA, María Julissa. Association between hypercholesterolemia and cholesterolosis or vesicular lithiasis. Rev Med Hered [online]. 2020, vol.31, n.1, pp.17-22. ISSN 1018-130X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.20453/rmh.v31i1.3723.

Objective:

To determine if an association hypercholesterolemia and cholesterolosis or gallbladder lithiasis does exist.

Methods:

AA case series study was conducted between January 2014 and December 2015 in Hospital Belén, Trujillo- Perú. Patients were those in whom a cholecystectomy had been performed (1069) and a lipid profile was available (143).

Results:

Age range was 17-95 years with a mean age of 50; 36 (25.2%) had cholesterolosis, male to female ratio was 1:2,6. Gallbladder lithiasis was found in 119 cases (83.2%), male to female ratio is 1:3.1 and a mean age of 48. Hypercholesterolemia (≥ 200 mg/dl) was found in 51 cases (35.7%); 29 20.3% cholesterolosis with gallbladder lithiasis and 7 (4.9%) had acalculous cholesterolosis. No association was found between hypercholesterolemia and cholesterolosis (p=0.284) nor with gallbladder lithiasis (p=0.169).

Conclusions:

No significant association between hypercholesterolemia and cholesterolosis or gallbladder lithiasis was found.

Palabras clave : Gallbladder; hypercholesterolemia.
