Total Bile Acids

Optimal result: 0 – 9.2 umol/L

Total bile acids refer to the sum of all bile acids present in the bloodstream, including both primary and secondary bile acids. On Labcorp's Bile Acids, Fractionated LC/MS-MS Panel, the measurement of total bile acids provides a comprehensive assessment of bile acid metabolism and liver function. Elevated levels of total bile acids can indicate liver dysfunction, cholestasis, or bile acid synthesis disorders. The LC/MS-MS method used in this test offers high accuracy and sensitivity, enabling precise quantification of total bile acids in serum or plasma samples. By evaluating total bile acid levels, healthcare providers can diagnose conditions such as liver disease, biliary obstructions, and metabolic disorders, ensuring timely and effective management of these conditions.

"Watching my numbers move over the years — instead of forgetting last time's results — completely changed how I manage my health."

"Living across several countries made keeping my lab results organized a real challenge. Healthmatters brought my results from the USA, Spain, and Germany together — 20 years of history, with long-term trends instead of scattered reports."

"Standard lab ranges are too wide for how I practice — 'normal' isn't optimal. I set my own bands, so a client sees yellow before a marker goes officially out of range. That's the conversation I want to be having."
