Intragastric bile acids and scintigraphy in the assessment of duodenogastric reflux. 1986

P W Houghton, and N J Mortensen, and W E Thomas, and M J Cooper, and A P Morgan, and E R Davies

Following endoscopic gastric juice aspiration, intragastric bile acids were measured in 105 patients undergoing routine or review gastroscopy. Subsequently, duodenogastric reflux was assessed using 99mTc butyliminodiacetic acid (BIDA) scintigraphy and intragastric bile acid levels compared with the grades of reflux assessed scintigraphically. There was a significant correlation between both free and total intragastric bile acid levels and the degree of radiological bile reflux, especially when reflux was severe. Both endoscopic measurements of bile acids and BIDA scintigraphy appear to be useful methods for determining duodenogastric reflux, but neither may be accurate enough to quantify minor degrees of reflux.

D001647 Bile Acids and Salts Steroid acids and salts. The primary bile acids are derived from cholesterol in the liver and usually conjugated with glycine or taurine. The secondary bile acids are further modified by bacteria in the intestine. They play an important role in the digestion and absorption of fat. They have also been used pharmacologically, especially in the treatment of gallstones. Bile Acid,Bile Salt,Bile Salts,Bile Acids,Acid, Bile,Acids, Bile,Salt, Bile,Salts, Bile
