B8y  CONCLUSION ]Taken together, the determination of Troponin I in conjunction with gallbladder wall thickness, other parameters (leukocyte count, C-reactive protein, AST, GGT etc.) and clinical presentation could be a very sensitive, useful and simple tool, easily incorporated into daily practice. Clinically, it is very important to determine the degree of acute and non obstructive cholecystitis (mild, moderate or severe form, with or without complications). This can lead to a more precise determination of disease severity ensuring timely and appropriate therapy resulting in lower costs and fewer complications.^ " d%# '#+'#-' #'3#Z'3##L'#'ff'ff0'f#B#X'# e0 REFERENCES: 1.

B8y  CONCLUSION ]Taken together, the determination of Troponin I in conjunction with gallbladder wall thickness, other parameters (leukocyte count, C-reactive protein, AST, GGT etc.) and clinical presentation could be a very sensitive, useful and simple tool, easily incorporated into daily practice. Clinically, it is very important to determine the degree of acute and non obstructive cholecystitis (mild, moderate or severe form, with or without complications). This can lead to a more precise determination of disease severity ensuring timely and appropriate therapy resulting in lower costs and fewer complications.^ " d%# '#+'#-' #'3#Z'3##L'#'ff'ff0'f#B#X'# e0REFERENCES: 1.
