Bile salt glucuronides: identification and quantitative analysis in the urine of patients with cholestasis.

Abstract
Glucuronides of lithocholate, chenodeoxycholate and cholate were synthesized enzymatically and characterized by thin layer chromatography, column chromatography and specific enzymatic hydrolysis. Bile salt glucuronides were quantitatively analysed in thr urine of patients with intra- and extra- hepatic cholestasis and were found to be present in 19 out of 20 patients studied. Our patients with intrahepatic cholestasis excreted 8.9 mg non-sulphated and non-glucoronidated bile salts, 18.2 mg sulphated bile salts and 7.2 mg glucuronidated bile salts. The patients with extrahepatic cholestasis excreted 14.7 mg non-sulphated and non-glucuronidated bile salts, 20.7 mg sulphated bile salts and 4.7 mg glucuronidated bile salts. These findings indicate that glucuronidation of bile salts occurs in man and represents a metabolic pathway in patients with cholestasis.
