Vet Rec. 1992 Feb 8;130(6):119-21. doi: 10.1136/vr.130.6.119.

Abstract

Increases in serum unconjugated bile acid concentrations have recently been shown to be diagnostic for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth in man. Similar increases in serum unconjugated bile acids were detected in three of nine cats with chronic diarrhoea and vomiting.
