    Abstract:
    Analysis of local and systemic humoral immunity in 75 patients with cholelithiasis (36 patients) and biliary "sludge" (39 patients) are presented in this article. The bile of these patients were examined. The sIgA reduce in the bile, that testifies to the suppression of local humoral immunity but IgG and IgM increase due to inflammatory changes of gallbladder were revealed. Increase of all immunoglobulins, especially IgA, was revealed in blood serum. The both groups of the patients had demonstrated the same changes but with different expressiveness. This fact testifies to the similarity of pathological processes in these patients.
