Abstract

Abstract. In 39 cholecystectomized patients and 62 patients without previous cholecystectomy the effect of i.m. injection of morphine on the serum concentrations of bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, GOT, GPT, LDH and amylase has been studied. Most of the cholecystectomized patients in whom the injection of morphine provoked a reaction of abdominal pain showed increased serum activity of both GOT and GPT 8 hours after the injection of morphine. The results suggest that this “morphine‐enzyme‐pain provocation” may be helpful in differentiating dyskinesia of the sphincter Oddi from other postcholecystectomy abdominal complaints.
