Bile Acid Malabsorption in Patients with Chronic Diarrhoea: Clinical Value of SeHCAT Test

Abstract

The SeHCAT test is of value in evaluation of patients with chronic diarrhoea as a second-line investigation with a high diagnostic yield. The only a priori parameter to predict BAM was the existence of ileocaecal resections. The result of the SeHCAT test seems to predict the benefit of treatment with cholestyramine.
