Clinical Trial Summary

Prospective Study for the Effects of Biphenyl Dimethyl Dicarboxylate and Ursodeoxycolic Acid Therapy on Liver Function and Quality of Life After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Primary endpoint: peak level of postoperative AST (aspartate transaminase) and postoperative ALT (alanine tansaminase)

Secondary endpoint: postoperative GIQLI (Gastrointestinal Quality of Life index) score


Clinical Trial Description

Because the gallbladder is adjacent to the liver, liver enzymes are often elevated when cholecystitis occurs. BDD and UDCA drugs are known to be effective in preserving liver function. The use of BDD and UDCA drugs in patients with cholecystitis is expected to inhibit elevated liver enzyme levels and to maintain liver function. The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of BDD and UDCA medication on postoperative changes in hepatic enzyme levels and quality of life in patients LFT elevated cholecystitis. ;
