Bile Acids Test in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Same day, Confidential Bile Acids Test, Locations Nationwide

Do you need to learn more about your liver? Request A Test offers the confidential and affordable Bile Acids Test in Oklahoma City, OK. This test measures the level of Bile Acids in the blood. Bile acids are produced by the liver. They are stored in the gallbladder and secreted into the small intestine during digestion. Bile acid levels in the blood are normally very low because most of the bile acid released during digestion is reabsorbed by the intestines. The small amount that is released into the blood is extracted by the liver. People with liver disease may have elevated bile acids levels because the liver's functioning is impaired. Measuring bile acids in the blood can help to identify liver disease earlier than other tests. In some cases, standard tests such as a Hepatic Function Panel may show normal levels until the liver disease has progressed further. Disorders such as cirrhosis, hepatitis, Wilson's Disease, and Hemochromatosis have all been shown to cause elevated blood bile acid levels.     

A Bile Acid test can also aid in identifying Cholestasis, a liver disorder that sometimes develops in women during the later stages of pregnancy. The primary symptom of cholestasis is an intense itching sensation which typically begins in the palms of the hands and soles of the feet and may spread to other parts of the body. While it is uncomfortable for the mother, cholestasis does not usually cause long term health complications.
