Correlation between total serum bile acids, chenodeoxycholic acid and shunt index and pharmacokinetic and prognostic parameters.

Correlations with pharmacokinetic parameters were performed in patients (n = 13) and controls (n = 5) while correlation with prognostic factors were only performed in patients (n = 13). Patients 3 and 4 excluded because of interacting medication (see text). AUC0–∞ = area under the curve time zero to infinity, iv = intravenous, po = oral administration.
