Difference between Bile acid malabsorption and Bile acid sequestrant

Bile acid malabsorption vs. Bile acid sequestrant

Bile acid malabsorption, known also as bile acid diarrhea, is a cause of several gut-related problems, the main one being chronic diarrhea. The bile acid sequestrants are a group of resins used to bind certain components of bile in the gastrointestinal tract.

Similarities between Bile acid malabsorption and Bile acid sequestrant

Bile acid malabsorption and Bile acid sequestrant have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Bile acid, Colesevelam, Colestipol, Colestyramine, Crohn's disease, Diarrhea, Enterohepatic circulation, Gallbladder, Ileum, Liver, SeHCAT.

Bile acid

Bile acids are steroid acids found predominantly in the bile of mammals and other vertebrates.

Colestipol

Colestipol (trade names Colestid, Cholestabyl) is a bile acid sequestrant used to lower blood cholesterol, specifically low-density lipoprotein (LDL).

Colestyramine

Colestyramine (INN) or cholestyramine (USAN) (trade names Questran, Questran Light, Cholybar, Olestyr) is a bile acid sequestrant, which binds bile in the gastrointestinal tract to prevent its reabsorption.

Crohn's disease

Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that may affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus.

Enterohepatic circulation

Enterohepatic circulation refers to the circulation of biliary acids, bilirubin, drugs or other substances from the liver to the bile, followed by entry into the small intestine, absorption by the enterocyte and transport back to the liver.

Gallbladder

In vertebrates, the gallbladder is a small hollow organ where bile is stored and concentrated before it is released into the small intestine.

Ileum

The ileum is the final section of the small intestine in most higher vertebrates, including mammals, reptiles, and birds.

Liver

The liver, an organ only found in vertebrates, detoxifies various metabolites, synthesizes proteins, and produces biochemicals necessary for digestion.

SeHCAT

SeHCAT (23-seleno-25-homotaurocholic acid, selenium homocholic acid taurine, or tauroselcholic acid) is a drug used in a clinical test to diagnose bile acid malabsorption.
