Book a Test- Serum Total Bile Acid

Serum Total Bile Acid is a blood test that measures the level of bile acids in the blood. Bile acids are produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, where they play a crucial role in digesting fats and absorbing fat-soluble vitamins. The test is used to evaluate liver function and diagnose liver diseases, such as cirrhosis, hepatitis, and liver cancer. Elevated serum total bile acid levels can indicate liver dysfunction or disease, as the liver is unable to properly process and eliminate bile acids. The test is often used in conjunction with other liver function tests, such as alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST), to assess liver health. By measuring serum total bile acid levels, healthcare providers can gain valuable insights into liver function and diagnose potential liver problems at an early stage.
