Rh. Zhao et al., HIGH-PERFORMANCE LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHIC DETERMINATION OF INDIVIDUAL BILE-ACIDS IN SERUM FOR AUTOMATIC DIAGNOSIS OF VARIOUS LIVER AND BILIARY DISEASES, BMC. Biomedical chromatography, 7(3), 1993, pp. 139-142
A reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic method for th
e high sensitivity determination of individual bile acids in serum usi
ng a C18 column with a ternary solvent system combined with fluorometr
ic techniques using immobilized enzymes is described. A computer-assis
ted diagnosis system using pattern recognition was developed to assist
the clinical diagnosis of various liver and biliary diseases. A total
consistency rate of 95% can be reached using this system.
