Rates of Bile Acid Diarrhoea After Cholecystectomy: A Multicentre Audit

Abstract

Only a small proportion of patients, post-cholecystectomy, were investigated for diarrhoea with significant time delay to diagnosis. The true prevalence of BAD after cholecystectomy may be much higher, and clinicians need to have an increased awareness of this condition due to its amenability to treatment. ⁷⁵SeHCAT is a useful tool for diagnosis of bile acid diarrhoea.
