| Abstract | The conjugated cholic acid (glycocholic acid) (GC) in the serum and the conjugated sulfolithocholic acid (sulfolithoglycocholic acid (SLGC) in 35 aggressive chronic hepatitis (HCA), 22 cirrhosis, 11 primary biliary cirrhosis (CBP), 11 pruritus of pregnancy and in 20 normal controls were determined. The control group revealed a mean value of GC of 21 micrograms % with a dispersion of +/- 14 micrograms % and for SLGC of 36 micrograms % with a dispersion of +/- 9 micrograms %. The frequency of the alteration of GC and SLGC in the cases of chronic hepatitis was low (14% and 9%) as well as in the cirrhosis (23% and 14%). In the pruritus of pregnancy the values reached 64% and 45%. On the other hand, the values were significantly elevated in CBP (100% and 90%) (p.001 and p.006). The absolute values in the various pathologies revealed mean values which were different but with a very wide dispersion that prevented us from seeing any relation between those absolute values and the different diseases. The alteration in the metabolism of biliary acids in the hepatic pathology was manifested by the postprandial determination of GC and SLGC in 20 HCA in whom the frequency of abnormal values rose from 14% and 9% on fasting to 60% and 45% prandially. |
