Reduction of bile acid loss in cystic fibrosis by dietary means.

Reduction of bile acid loss in cystic fibrosis by dietary means.

On a 'normal' diet increased faecal bile acid excretion was found in 14 of 16 children with cystic fibrosis who had steatorrhoea, but excretion was normal in 2 such children without steatorrhoea. The 16 children with steatorrhoea took 3 regimens of diet and therapy: a 'normal' diet with pancreatic enzyme supplements, a diet of reduced long-chain triglycerides with added medium-chain triglycerid...

Bile acid secretion in cystic fibrosis.

Intestinal bile acid malabsorption in cystic fibrosis.

This study aimed at examining the mechanisms participating in excessive faecal bile acid loss in cystic fibrosis. The study was designed to define the relation between faecal fat and faecal bile acid loss in patients with and without cystic fibrosis related liver disease; to assess terminal ileal bile acid absorption by a seven day whole body retention of selenium labelled homotaurocholic acid ...

Aspects of bile acid metabolism in cystic fibrosis.

Goodchild, M. C., Murphy, G. M., Howell, A. MA, Nutter, S. A., Anderson, C. M. (1975). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 50, 769. Aspects of bile acid metabolism in cystic fibrosis. Previous reports have indicated that cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with pancreatic enzyme insufficiency have a raised faecal bile acid output. In this study, 18 out of 29 CF patients and 2 out of the 4 non-CF patien...
