HALLAZGOS ECOGR\uc1FICOS DE ESTEATOSIS HEP\uc1TICA EN PACIENTES CON ENFERMEDAD LITI\uc1SICA VESICULAR. HOSPITAL CENTRAL UNIVERSITARIO DR. ANTONIO MAR\ucdA PINEDA

Con el objetivo de describir los hallazgos de esteatosis hep\ue1tica en pacientes con enfermedad litiasicas vesicular que acuden a la unidad de ecograf\ueda del Servicio de Radiolog\ueda y Diagn\uf3stico por Im\ue1genes Dr. "Theoscar Sanoja Hern\ue1ndez" del Hospital Central Universitario Dr. Antonio Mar\ueda Pineda se realiz\uf3 un estudio descriptivo transversal con muestra no probabil\uedstica de 85 pacientes que acudieron a la unidad antes se\uf1alada y cumpl\ueda criterios de inclusi\uf3n para dicha investigaci\uf3n. La recolecci\uf3n de datos se realiz\uf3 por ficha predise\uf1ada, que incluyo datos de pacientes, antecedentes personales y hallazgos ecogr\ue1ficos en h\uedgado y ves\uedcula biliar. Seg\ufan los resultados encontrados, la edad promedio fue de 47,5\ub18,15 a\uf1os, predomino el sexo femenino con 77,65%. En cuanto a los antecedentes personales obtenidos se puede observar 28,2% reportaron obesidad, dislipidemia con 22,3%. Por otro lado, los hallazgos ecogr\ue1ficos de h\uedgado obtenidos reportan que 64,70% fue de tama\uf1o normal y 35, 29% present\uf3 aumento de tama\uf1o de h\uedgado; mientras que la mayor\ueda 57,65% reporta ecogenicidad aumentada. Adem\ue1s, se logr\uf3 evidenciar 57,65% present\uf3 esteatosis hep\ue1tica. Entre otros de los hallazgos obtenidos por ecograf\ueda de ves\uedcula biliar, 88,23% presento ves\uedcula biliar normal y 10,58% present\uf3 ves\uedcula aumentada de tama\uf1o; de igual manera, 15,29% mostraron grosor de pared aumentado y 75,29% se report\uf3 presencia de litiasis m\ufaltiples. Se reafirma la utilidad de ecograf\ueda como m\ue9todo imagenologicos de elecci\uf3n para diagn\uf3stico y seguimientos de estos pacientes con estas patolog\uedas.

ABSTRACT With the aim of describing the findings of hepatic steatosis in patients with gallbladder disease lithiasic attending the ultrasound unit of the Service of Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging Dr. "Theoscar Sanoja Hern\ue1ndez" University Central Hospital Dr. Antonio Maria Pineda made a Cross-sectional study with non probabilistic sample of 85 patients who came to the aforementioned unit and met inclusion criteria for such research. Data collection was performed by predesigned record, which included patient data, medical history and ultrasound findings in the liver and gallbladder. According to the results, the average age was 47.5 \ub1 8.15 years, with a predominance of females 77.65%. As for the obtained personal history can be observed 28.2% reported obesity, dyslipidemia with 22.3% 16.4% and hypertension. On the other hand, liver ultrasound findings obtained was reported that 64.70% of normal size and 35, 29% had enlarged liver; while most 57.65% report increased echogenicity addition, evidence was achieved 57.65% had hepatic steatosis. Among other findings of the gallbladder ultrasound, 88.23% had normal gallbladder and 10.58% had increased vesicle size; similarly, 15.29% showed increased wall thickness and 75.29% presence of multiple stones reported. The usefulness of ultrasound imaging is reaffirmed as method of choice for diagnosis and follow-up of these patients with these pathologies. KEY WORDS: Hepatic steatosis. Cholelithiasis.
