Presentation Transcript

  1. Gallbladder Stones in Sickle Cell Anemia

  2. SCA Complications • Anemia • Aplastic crisis • Sequestration crisis • Hemolytic crisis • Dactylitis • Painful crisis. VOC • Acute chest syndrome • Chronic lung disease • priapism

  3. CVA • Ocular • Gallbladder disease • Renal • Cardiomyopathy • Skeletal • Leg ulcers • Infections • Growth failure , delayed puberty • psychological

  4. Causes of GB stones in pediatric : • Hemolytic ds(sickle , spherocytosis ) • Obesity • Ileal resection • CF • Chronic liver ds • Crohn ds • Prolonged TPN • ..

  5. Gallstones types • Pigment stones: >70%, black-brown pigment , Ca bilirubinate & glycoprotein , • Cholesterol stones : 15-20 %

  6. CHOLELITHIASIS is very common in patients with sickle cell anemia • 17-33 % of SCA complications • incidence is much lower in patients with HbSC and HbS-beta thalasemmia • Mainly Pigment • Associated with the promoter of uridine diphosphate (UDP) glucoronosyltransferase 1A1 →unconjugated hyberbili.

  7. C/P : “”acute Rt, UQ sever colicky pain , fever , jaundice “” fat intolerance, Rt, shoulder pain , leukocyosis • Symptomatic(mainly) and asymptomatic • Complications: cholycystitis ,cholangitis, jaundice , pancriatitis and gallstone ileus .

  8. Diagnosis • CBC : ↑ WBC • ↑ amylase • ↑ Bilirubine • ↑ ALP • X-ray : 50% of pigment stones are radiopaque • U/S • MRCP • ERCP

  9. Intervention • conservative preoperative transfusion is recommended .. • Cholecystectomy is the most frequently performed surgical procedure in SCA • In order to avoid the subsequent confusion of acute cholecystitis pain and acute VOC, cholecystectomy has become a feasible approach in the management of gallstones

  10. one study has recommended caution with regards to laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to perioperative complications in the context of sickle cell disease, advocating open cholecystectomy instead. • another showed ,morbidity is the same in the open and laparoscopic in SCA,may reflect the importance of the underlying disease, rather than the procedure, in determining perioperative outcome. • Open Vs lap chole is still debatable..
