In this qualitative study of the pattern of bile acid excretion in cholestasis, methods are described for the isolation of bile acids from large volumes of urine and plasma. The bile acids were subjected to a group separation and identified by combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The techniques were developed to allow identification of the minor components of the bile acid mixture. Four bile acids that have not previously been described in human urine and plasma were detected, namely 3beta, 7alpha-dihydroxy-5beta-cholan-24-oic acid, 3alpha, 6alpha-dihydroxy-5beta-cholan-24-oic acid (hyodeoxycholic acid), 3alpha, 6alpha, 7alpha-trihydroxy-5beta-cholan-24-oic acid (hyocholic acid) and 3alpha, 7beta, 12alpha-trihydroxy-5beta-cholan-24-oic acid. In addition three C27 steroids were found; 26-hydroxycholesterol and a trihydroxy cholestane, probably 5 beta-cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha, 26-triol were found in the sulphate fraction of plasma and urine. In the plasma sample, a sulphate conjugate of 24-hydroxycholesterol was found. The presence of these compounds probably reflects the existence of further pathways for bile acid metabolism. It is not yet known whether this is a consequence of the cholestasis or whether they are also present in normal man, at much lower concentrations.
