What is a Bile Acid test? Thursday January 28, 2010 Forum member TRISHA1920 asks: “My dog had his Bile Acid test today and I won’t get the results until early next week. Does anyone know what a Bile Acid test is? It sounds like something to do with acid in the gullet…” In short, the bile acid test measures how well the liver is functioning.

Learn why this sequencing is important and learn about bile acids and liver function in this Bile Acid Test FAQ. Comments (0)See All Posts
