Assessment of Fasting Blood Sugar Levels in Gallstone Patients: A Prospective Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Gallstones are hardened deposits of the digestive fluid bile that can form within the gallbladder. Although, in comparison to the western countries, the Asian population has a particular different metabolic profile, there is currently only minimal data regarding the relationship among gall stones patients and their glucose profile. Hence, under the light of above mentioned data, we planned the present study to evaluate the role of fasting blood sugar in gallstone disease patients. Materials & Methods: The present study included assessment of fasting blood glucose in gallstone patients undergoing cholecystectomy. On presentation, detailed history with demographic profile of patient was recorded in the proforma with simultaneous recording of hematological parameters. Serum fasting glucose levels was estimated in all the patients preoperatively and postoperatively. All the results were analysed by SPSS software 17.0. Chi- square test and student t test were used for assessment of level of significance. Results: Out of 50, majority of the patients (24 patients) belonged to the age group of 41 to 60 years. We didn’t observe any significant change in the mean fasting blood sugar (FBS) levels in the patients undergoing cholecystectomy. Conclusion: Gallstones should now be considered as a marker of an underlying metabolic disorder and should be assessed and treated accordingly.
