Urinary sulfated bile acids flagged as biomarkers of nutrition-linked cholestasis

A new multi-omics study has identified a promising noninvasive way to detect a dangerous liver complication in the most fragile newborns, before the condition is conventionally diagnosed. By combining stool microbiome sequencing, fecal and urinary bile acid measurements, and urinary metabolomics, researchers found that sulfated bile acids excreted in urine strongly signal the onset of […]
