Serum Bile Acid Total near me in Bareilly

The Serum Bile Acid Total test is a specialized test tailored to evaluate liver function and is available at an affordable price in Bareilly with Tata 1mg labs. Bile acids are compounds produced in the liver and are vital for the digestion of food. They play a crucial role in breaking down dietary fats, aiding the body in absorbing essential fat-soluble nutrients and vitamins. 

The Serum Bile Acid Total test can be done as a part of routine health checkups, or your doctor may recommend it if you experience symptoms indicative of an unhealthy liver, such as dark urine, nausea, abdominal pain and swelling, clay-colored stool, jaundice (yellowing of eyes and skin), anemia, and flu-like symptoms like fever and chills. 

During pregnancy, women at a higher risk of intrahepatic cholestasis (a severe liver disease that occurs due to the accumulation of bile acids) may also undergo the Serum Bile Acid Total test. Elevated total bile acid levels may result from conditions such as liver cirrhosis, liver dysfunction caused by injury or trauma, or liver cancer. Usually, overnight fasting (8-12 hours) is preferred for this test. Do not eat or drink anything except water before the test.
