2016-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Introduction: PBAD is a common cause of watery diarrhoea. It is diagnosed by the SeHCAT test and is characterized biochemically by elevated bile acid biosynthesis and low fasting FGF19. FGF19 is a gut hormone produced in the terminal ileum which negatively feeds back on hepatic BA synthesis.
