Review article: measurement of gall-bladder motor function in health and disease

R P Jazrawi. Aliment Pharmacol Ther. 2000 May.

Abstract

Normal gall-bladder (GB) motor function plays an important role in the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids in health, and abnormal GB motor function has serious clinical implications. The old concept that the GB empties gradually during meals and fills between meals is still believed by many. This paper describes the techniques used in the measurement of GB motor function and discusses the information provided by these techniques in health and disease.
