[Comparative study of bile sedimentation rate and pH normally and in cholelithiasis patients]

The paper is concerned with the results of a study of the time of appearance of bile sediment and change in pH in patients with cholelithiasis (CL) and in healthy persons. In CL patients the rate of bile sediment in vitro was 3-4 times higher than in healthy persons, bile coagulation took place in a weak alkaline medium. In the course of chenoursotherapy one could control dissolution determining bile pH and the time of sedimentation.
