[Cytochemical study of glycogen and peroxidase in acute and chronic exacerbated cholecystitis uncomplicated and complicated by cholelithiasis].

Glycogen content and peroxidase activity in 101 patients with acute, chronic exacerbated cholecystitis and noncomplicated cholelithiasis were investigated. An increase of the indices was established in case of inflammatory diseases of gallbladder and biliary ducts, being parallel to the severity of the pathological process. The values were normalized with the successful treatment. No essential deviations from the normal values were found in the non-complicated cholelithiasis.
