Deoxycholic Acid on Labcorp's Bile Acids, Fractionated LC/MS-MS Panel
Deoxycholic acid is a secondary bile acid formed in the colon by the bacterial metabolism of primary bile acids, such as cholic acid. On Labcorp's Bile Acids, Fractionated LC/MS-MS Panel, deoxycholic acid is measured to help assess bile acid metabolism and liver function. Elevated levels of deoxycholic acid can be associated with various gastrointestinal and liver conditions, including cholestasis, inflammatory bowel diseases, or liver dysfunction. The LC/MS-MS technology used in this panel offers high sensitivity and precision, enabling accurate quantification of deoxycholic acid and other bile acids in serum or plasma samples. By analyzing these bile acid profiles, healthcare providers can better understand and manage disorders related to bile secretion, absorption, and liver function.
