lithocholic acid

Cholelithic acid (LCA) is a combination of bile acid and choline acid synthesized in the liver. It is one of the main bile acid components, and its content is of great value in the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases. It is not directly biosynthesized by cholesterol in the liver, but by the metabolism of chenodeoxycholic acid in the intestine by bacteria. Most of this substance produced in the intestine is excreted with feces, a very small part is absorbed, and a binding reaction occurs in the liver, which occurs in the form of taurolithocholic acid or glycithocholic acid in bile. in. More toxic than other bile acids, large amounts of experimental animals can cause various obstacles in the liver and biliary system. Basic Information Specialist classification: Digestive examination classification: biochemical examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Rare. Normal value: Phytic acid: 0-0.27μmol/L Above normal: Primary biliary cirrhosis, extrahepatic bile stasis. negative: Positive: Tips: Please cooperate with the doctor when checking. Normal value Gas chromatography (GC) 0 to 0.27 μmol/L. Clinical significance Elevation: primary biliary cirrhosis, extrahepatic bile stasis. High results may be diseases: primary biliary cirrhosis, intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy Determining the ratio of glycosidic acid to glycodeoxycholic acid may have diagnostic value because about 80% of patients with hepatocellular disease have a ratio of <1, while in 80% of patients with cholestasis disease the ratio is >1. Inspection process Determined by the principle of gas chromatography. Not suitable for the crowd no. Adverse reactions and risks no.
