Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR) - Year 2019, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Gallstones represent a significant burden for health care systems worldwide and are one of the most common disorders presenting to emergency room. The most widely recognized indication of gallstones is right hypochondriac (RHC) or epigastric pain. Ultrasonography are procedure of choice in suspected gallstones. It is most sensitive, specific, non-invasive and inexpensive test for the detection of gallstones. Objective: To determine the sonographic association of gallstones with family history among adults. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study were carried out at the Department of Radiology in Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar, Pakistan. Duration of study were from Feb 2018 to July 27, 2018. All data was analysis by Statistical Software for Social Sciences (SPSS version 24). Mean and standard deviation (SD) were calculated for continuous variables. Frequency and percentages were calculated for categorical variables. Results: Total 126 were diagnosed and pre-operative cases of gallstone existing in the study. There were 16 (12.7%) men and 110 (87.3%) women. Age ranged from 19 to 80 with mean 43.62 ? 10.92 years. RHC or epigastric pain were present in all patients 126 (100.0%). Patients with positive family history of gallstone disease is 45 (35.7%) and negative family history is 81 (64.3%). Conclusions: These data suggest that family factors are responsible for at least 35.7% of symptomatic gallstone disease. However, the true role of heredity in gallstone pathogenesis is probably higher because data based on symptomatic gallbladder disease underestimates the true prevalence in the population.
