Clinical Implications in the Incidence and Associated Risk Factors of Gallstone Disease Among Elderly Type 2 Diabetics in Kinmen, Taiwan

The knowledge of gallstone disease (GSD) is crucial to manage this condition when organizing screening and preventive strategies and identifying the appropriated clinical therapies. Although cholecystectomy still be the gold standard treatment for patients with symptomatic GSD, expectant management could be viewed as a valid therapeutic method for this disorder. If early treatment of GSD decreases the morbidity or avoids further cholecystectomy, it may save clinical care costs in later disease periods sufficiently to offset the screening and early treatment costs. In addition, whether routine screening for GSD is worthwhile depends on whether patients are willing to pay the ultrasonography screening cost that would reduce the risk of cholecystectomy. In this review we discuss the epidemiology, management, and economic evaluation of screening of GSD among type 2 diabetics.

The article presents an update on the concurrence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and gallstone disease (GSD), on the mechanisms for the development of GSD in patients with type 2 DM (T2DM), on the risk factors of DM in GSD. The role of diabetic autonomic neuropathy of the gallbladder in the development of cholelithiasis is assessed in patients with T2DM. The impact of impaired secretion of neurohormones in the gastrointestinal tract in the development of DM in GSD is analyzed.
