Summary. Introduction. Statistic shows an increasing number of obese people for the past years in the world. Despite increased attention to the issue of the scientific and practical medicine, obesity is systemic and affects the metabolism and physiological parameters.
The research objective. Comparative analysis of indicators of liver and pancreas stiffness in patients with chronic biliary pancreatitis (CBP) depending the degree of obesity.
Materials and methods. 100 patients with CBP have been examined; 20 young healthy people who composed the control group. BMI calculated by Quetelet index.
Results and discussion. The level of the stiffness of liver was (11,81 ± 0,28) kPa, that is 2.5 times higher than in a control group, and the level of the stiffness of pancreas - in 2,0 times in patients with CBP with the obese class III. The indicator the of stiffness of liver and pancreas is higher than in a control group in 2.0 and 1.8 times, respectively, in patients with obese class II and in patients with obese class I is 1.6 and 1.5 times, and in patients with a overweight in 1.30 and 1.28 times.
Conclusions. According to the data, it has been proved that the an increasing degree of obesity the stiffness of the liver and pancreas increases too.
