Background/Aims: Changes in gastric motility in patients with liver cirrhosis is not yet established in South Korea. In this study changes gastric emptying time with attention to factors that effect this change in patients with liver cirrhosis were investigated. Methods: Fifteen patie with liver cirrhosis (11 males and 4 females) and 15 healthy controls (11 males and 4 females) were enrolled in this study. Gastric emptying ti was measured by gastric scintigraphy using a dual-head gamma camera alter ingestion of the mixture of 9´´Tc-labeled egg and fried rice (754Kc Data acquisition was performed for 120 minutes with 15 minutes interval and geometric mean and decay correction were calculated for gast emptying time. Results: There were no differences in age and sex between the two groups. The half time of soild gastric emptying was 78.0±8" minutes and 70.2 --2.8 minutes for liver cirrhosis and healthy control group, respectively (p>0.05). The level of serum cholesterol was statistica correlated with gastric emptying time (B-0.165, p<0.01). Conclusions: There was no significant difference in gastric emptying time between li, cirrhosis and healthy control group. (The Korean Journal of Gastrointestinal Motility 2003;9:25-29)
