This study aims to reveal the connections by evaluating the radiological images and laboratory data of patients who underwent MRCP for any reason in our center.
Material and Methods: The data of patients who underwent MRCP with a pre-diagnosis of cholestasis in a single center in 2019-2020 with the ethics committee’s approval were retrospectively analyzed. Choledock diameter, presence of cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis, and variation of the cystic duct were evaluated on MRCP images. In addition, laboratory data were examined, and the relationship between them was statistically compared.
Results: Of the 193 patients who underwent MRCP with a pre-diagnosis of bile duct pathologyi, 59.1% were female(n=114), 40.9% were male(n=79). Their mean age was 63,1±19,4. While the cystic duct was normal in 35.3%(n=68) of the patients, 64.7%(n=125) had anatomical variation. There was no difference between genders in terms of the presence of variation in the cystic canal. There was no significant relationship between the presence of variation and gallstones. A positive correlation was found between common bile duct diameter and presence of gallstones and WBC, neutrophil, and ALP values.
Conclusion: Although it is thought that bile duct variations may be effective in the formation of gallstones, it was observed that the variational cystic duct was not effective in gallstone formation in our case series. In MRCP, we found that the increase in the diameter of the common bile duct and the high values of WBC, neutrophils, and ALP support the presence of gallstones.}, number={3}, publisher={Ümit Muhammet KOÇYİĞİT}
