High bile acid than normal indicates abnormal bile acid metabolism, which may come from some diseases of hepatobiliary system. That is to say, abnormal hepatobiliary metabolism function is shown at this stage, and the content of total bile acid in peripheral blood is very low, which is a sensitive indicator. When liver cells are damaged or bile ducts inside and outside the liver are blocked, it will increase. Physiological reasons include increased bile acid after meals, but it will fall back later. Pathological causes are mainly liver, inflammation, such as liver cirrhosis, chronic alcoholism, tumors, including bile duct stones, tumors and other obstructive diseases. It is recommended that in this case, a comprehensive and systematic examination should be done to rule out the possibility of disease. It may also come from dietary factors, and color Doppler ultrasound of the hepatobiliary system can be done to rule out cholecystitis and gallbladder stones. If necessary, blood is also needed to do virology detection indicators. Patients in life should pay attention to regular diet, low-fat, low-salt do not overeat, pay attention to rest, drink more water, if necessary, can use anti-inflammatory cholagogue tablets and other drugs for treatment.
