Gallbladder dynamics in patients with Crohn's colitis and disease controls during the first 6 hours after CDCA ingestion and after 8 days of CDCA ingestion.

Values are in means ± SD; CDCA, chenodeoxycholic acid; V0, baseline fasting gallbladder volume (mean of 3 measurements);Vmin (mL), minimal gallbladder volume; Vmin (%), minimal gallbladder volume as percentage of V0; ΔVmin (mL), difference between Vmin and V0; ΔVmin (%), percentual difference between Vmin and V0; Time Vmin (hours), time to minimal gallbladder volume from t0; Vmax (mL), maximal gallbladder volume; Vmax (%), maximal gallbladder volume as percentage of V0; ΔVmax (mL), difference between Vmax and V0; ΔVmax (%), percentual difference between Vmax and V0; Time Vmax (hours), time to maximal gallbladder volume from t0; AUC (mL*360 min), area under the curve of change of gallbladder volume during 360 minutes; AUC (percent*360 min), area under the curve of percentual change of gallbladder volume during 360 minutes; V_t8 (mL), gallbladder volume after 8 days of CDCA ingestion; V_t8 (%), V_t8 as percentage of V0; ΔV_t8 (mL), difference between V_t8 and V0; ΔV_t8 (%), percentage difference between V_t8 and V0.
