Technical Information
Test Procedure: Help
Bile acid concentrations in serum are measured by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry stable isotope dilution analysis. Serum is mixed with isotopically labeled internal standards of selected bile acids and then subjected to protein precipitation. Sample preparation is semiautomated using a liquid handler. Reverse-phase liquid chromatography is performed using mobile … View more

Analytical Validity: Help
Recovery was used to assess accuracy; mean recovery was 82%. Intra assay precision was performed at 2 levels, CVs ranged from 1.6% to 4.2% (N=10 each). Inter assay precision was performed at 2 levels, CVs ranged from 1.9% to 13.7% (N=3 each). The reportable range is analyte dependent and ranges … View more
Assay limitations: Help
Bile acid concentrations in serum may be elevated post meal or due to bile acid therapy, such as cholic acid, deoxycholic acid, and ursodeoxycholic acid.
