Bile Acids


The Bile Acids blood test measures the level of bile acids circulating in your blood, which are produced by the liver to aid digestion. Elevated bile acid levels may indicate liver dysfunction or problems with bile flow. This test is commonly recommended when symptoms such as itching, jaundice, or unexplained liver concerns are present. It can also support early detection and monitoring of liver-related conditions.
