Screening for Bile Acid Malabsorption Through Serum C4 and FGF19 Profiling

Speciality: Gastroenterology


Speaker:

M Prabhu | HCP

Description:

Welcome to today’s episode, where we explore screening for bile acid malabsorption using serum C4 and FGF19 profiling. Bile acid malabsorption is a condition that can cause chronic diarrhoea and digestive discomfort. Traditionally, diagnosis required complex and invasive tests. However, recent advances have shown that measuring serum C4, a marker for bile acid synthesis, and FGF19, a hormone that regulates bile acid production, can offer a simpler alternative. Elevated C4 and reduced FGF19 levels suggest bile acid malabsorption, helping clinicians make more accurate diagnoses. This non-invasive approach can improve patient care and streamline the diagnostic process. Stay tuned for more insights on innovative diagnostic methods in gastroenterology.
