Etiology and Pathogenesis of Dysfunctional Disorders of the Gallbladder and Bile Ducts

Abstract

Most researchers believe that primary dysfunction of the gallbladder and sphincter apparatus of the bile ducts is based on impaired neurohumoral regulation of bile tract motility and tone. This impairment arises due to psychoneurotic, constitutional, endocrine, nutritional, infectious, toxic, allergic influences, and physical inactivity.
