Summary

Gastric and gallbladder emptying in 113 patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) were evaluated by real-time ultrasonography (RUS) after a liquid-fat meal by the patients, and compared with 15 healthy volunteers. The results showed that in FD group 69 patients (61.06%) had delayed gastric emptying, and 28 patients (24. 77%) had gallbladder hypokinesia. Among them both delayed gastric emptying and gallbladder hypokinesia were found in 11 patients (9. 7%), 44 patients (38. 93%) had normal gastric emptying and 85 patients (75. 22%) had normal gallbladder emptying.
