This is an example of only one of our Bile Acid Test that we have had ran on one of our dogs. We do this to insure that there is no liver issue.

-------Bile Acid Interpretive Comment-------
FASTING BILE ACID CONCENTRATIONS
Elevated fasting bile acid concentrations can occur with inadequate fasting, spontaneous gall bladder contraction and with hepatobiliary disease. The probability of hepatobiliary disease increases when fasting bile acids exceed 25 umol/L
Fasting bile acids may be higher than those of postparndian samples. Potential causes include gall bladder contraction and delayed gastric emptying. If either result exceeds 25 umol?l, abnormal liver function should be considered.
POSTPRANDIAL BILE ACID CONCENTRATIONS
Elevated postprandial bile acids are supportive of hepatobiliary disease. The majority of animals with congenital or acquired portosystemic shunting have markedly increased postprandial values (>100umol?L).
