Real-world experience with the diagnosis of bile acid malabsorption (BAM) using serum 7-alpha-C4 and 48-hour stool bile acids
Our study confirms that 7αC4 correlates well with TBAs and is a good biomarker for BAM screening because it can be elevated, despite normal PBA/TBA levels. Additionally, it represents a 49% cost savings in BAM investigation.
