| Core Tip |
Serum bile acid (SBA) levels serve as a sensitive, non-invasive biomarker for early detection and prognosis of graft dysfunction, acute rejection, patient survival, and biliary complications following liver transplantation. Elevated SBA levels correlate strongly with adverse outcomes, often preceding changes in conventional liver function tests. Despite promising diagnostic accuracy, heterogeneity in assay methods and cutoff values limits routine clinical use. Standardized protocols and large multicenter prospective studies are needed to validate SBA monitoring as a complementary tool to established biochemical tests, enhancing post-transplant surveillance and timely intervention strategies. |
