Keywords: hepatopancreatobiliary zone diseases, mechanical jaundice, purulent cholangitis, volatile fat acids, gas fluid chromatography, diagnosis
Abstarct: The results of the examination and treatment for 82 patients with various diseases of hepatopancrea- tobiliary zone complicated by mechanical jaundice are presented in the report. Volatile fat acids level in 42 patients with purulent cholangitis was determined by gas fluid chromatography. It was stated that the acetic acid concen- tration is statistically differed to a considerable extent in the patients with various degrees of cholangitis severity. Statistically significant variations in the level of propionic, butyric and isovalerianic acids were revealed in patients with purulent cholangitis depending on microflora type.
