Impaired gallbladder motility in adults with newly detected type 2 diabetes and lack of reversibility after achieving euglycemia.
    Canadian journal of diabetes, 2015, Volume: 39, Issue:2

    The effects of hyperglycemia and normoglycemia on gallbladder emptying have not been studied in detail. This prospective case-control study was designed to investigate the gallbladder ejection fraction in patients with newly detected diabetes and to assess the impact of restoring normoglycemia on gallbladder ejection fraction in such patients.. (99m)Tc-mebrofenin scintigraphy was performed in 22 patients with newly detected type 2 diabetes for measurement of gallbladder ejection fraction. The scintigraphy was performed at the time of first presentation and again 6 months after control of diabetes (glycated hemoglobin [A1C] <7%). Also, gallbladder ejection fraction was measured in 20 age- and sex-matched controls without diabetes.. Gallbladder ejection fraction was lower in patients with newly detected diabetes compared with controls (31.4%±5.9% vs. 70.7%±4.3%, p<0.001). Gallbladder ejection fraction did not improve after the treatment of diabetes mellitus (21.3%±5.7%, p=0.395).. Gallbladder ejection fraction was markedly reduced in patients with newly detected diabetes compared to controls without diabetes. Control of diabetes and normalization of A1C did not reverse the motility defect.

[The motility of the biliary tract studied with 99mTc-Br-IDA in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus].
    Minerva medica, 1995, Volume: 86, Issue:12

    Autonomic neuropathy in diabetes mellitus can cause alterations of the motor function of various segments of the gastroenteric apparatus. With hepatocholangio-cholecystiscintigraphy-HIDA we have studied the motility of the biliary system in patients with diabetes mellitus type II. The research has been carried out in 29 patients with diabetic autonomic neuropathy; 12 healthy volunteers have been studied to compare the results obtained. The results showed a delay in the appearance of radionucleotide in the small intestine of diabetic subjects compared to controls with statistical significance. Moreover the diabetic subjects with a serious neuropathic injury showed increased intestinal transit time. These results match those obtained by other authors that have studied the cholecystic emptying in diabetic subjects with other methods. Consequently the biliary system is also affected by the diabetic autonomic neuropathy that can be in its turn the cause of other pathologies such as biliary lithiasis.
