INFLUENCE OF URSODEOXYCHOLIC ACID ON THE CHOLECYSTOKININ LEVELS IN PATIENTS WITH GASTRO-ESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE AND...

Of particular interest is the study of the peculiarities of clinical findings and diagnostics of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim of the research - to study the dynamics of cholecystokinin (CCK) level on the background of complex therapy using the ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) drug in patients with GERD with type 2 DM. 68 patients with combination of type 2 DM and GERD were examined. The levels of CCK were studied in these patients, depending on the clinical forms of GERD, as well as their dynamics on the background of UDCA therapy. More pronounced increase in the serum level of CCK in patients with combination of type 2 DM and extra-esophageal manifestations of GERD was observed. Decrease in the CCK level in 2,4 - 2,7 times was reached on the background of complex therapy with UDCA in patients with combination of type 2 DM and GERD (p<0,01). In patients with type 2 DM and GERD, an increase in blood serum CCK level is observed, especially in case of extra-esophageal form of reflux disease. The maximum concentration of CCK in blood serum was revealed in overweight patients with type 2 DM in case of an extra-esophageal form of GERD. The use of UDC medication in the complex treatment of patients with type 2 DM and GERD leads to a normalization tendency of blood serum CCK levels, as well as to a decrease in body mass in these patients.
