Bile Acids TestBile acid may serve as a sensitive and specific indicator of liver disease as levels may be altered even when other liver function tests are normal. The concentration of bile acids in serum is elevated in patients with many structural liver diseases, due to the inability of the liver to extract bile acids efficiently from portal blood. Metabolic liver diseases such as Gilbert disease, Crigler-Najjar syndrome, or Dubin-Johnson syndrome do not appear to cause elevated bile acid concentrations. A significant deviation
from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
