Results suggest that lithocholic acid may be involved in the hepatic lesions observed in patients undergoing total parenteral nutrition.
Abstract
In order to understand the mechanism of hepatic abnormalities appearing during total parenteral nutrition, biliary bile acid composition and liver function tests were examined serially in 15 patients undergoing total parenteral nutrition for inflammatory bowel disease. In all 12 patients who underwent duodenal intubation before initiation of total parenteral nutrition, lithocholic acid accounted for less than 1% of total biliary bile acids. After 11-22 days of total parenteral nutrition, lithocholic acid accounted for 7%-15% of biliary bile acids in 5 patients and less than 1% of biliary bile acids in 10 patients. In the 5 patients with elevated levels of biliary lithocholic acid, serum alkaline phosphatase and aminotransferase activities rose progressively at serial determinations, the increase being significant after 2 wk of total parenteral nutrition. These results suggest that lithocholic acid may be involved in the hepatic lesions observed in patients undergoing total parenteral nutrition.

It is concluded that chenodeoxycholic acid (which is not a major constituent of rabbit bile) exerts its hepatotoxic effects largely because it is converted to lithocholic acid by the intestinal bacterial flora.

The presence of intestinal pathology which caused “stasis” or obstruction appeared to favor the growth of organisms capable of deconjugation and 7-α-dehydroxylation, thereby resulting in a greater proportion of secondary dihydroxy bile acids present as conjugates of deoxycholic acid.

The bile acid response to pancreozymin/cholecystokinin followed by secretin in the cirrhotic subjects resembled that seen in patients after cholecystectomy, and it is unlikely that deficient output or concentration of bile salt can be held responsible for steatorrhea in cirrhosis.
