Background & Aim:
The changes in liver function tests (LFTs) after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) have been described in
the literature. The aim of this study is to evaluate clinical relevance of LFTs changes.
Patients & Methods:
In the period September 2011 ? February 2012, 81 patients undergoing elective LC were analyzed by
examining bilirubin, AST, ALT, ALT , G-GT at the admission, one and 6 days after surgery. Correlations of the length of
intervention and BMI with changes of LFTs were evaluated. During surgery, the intrabnominal pressure has been 12 mmHg in all
patients. The Student t test, PCC (Pearson?s r) OR (odd ratio) were performed to determine statistical significance.
Results:
The level of (serum) AST, ALT increased significantly during 24-48 hours after LC (p<0.0001). The increase of (total and
direct) bilirubin has not the statistical significance. On the contrary ALT, G-GT was significantly decreased (p<0.001). Six days
after surgery LFTs returned to normal level. The length of intervention doesn?t show correlations with changes of LFTs (PCC 0.2).
the BMI >28 led increased risk of changes of LFTs (OR 2.44).
Conclusions:
The changes of LFTs are transient and clinically silent in patients with a normal liver function. Nevertheless must
be evaluated preoperative BMI and liver dysfunction.
