Popis: BACKGROUND Cystic fibrosis (CF) and CF-related liver disease can lead to disturbances in bile acid metabolism. AIM This study determined serum bile acid concentrations in CF to define their usefulness in liver disease assessment. METHODS Primary, secondary and conjugated bile acid levels were measured in three CF groups (25 patients each) exhibiting: liver cirrhosis, other liver disease, no liver disease, and in 25 healthy subjects (HS). RESULTS Bile acid levels were higher in CF patients than in HS, except for glycodeoxycholic acid (GDCA). However, bile acid concentrations did not differ between patients with cirrhosis and other liver involvement. GDCA and deoxycholic acid (DCA) differentiated CF patients with non-cirrhotic liver disease from those without liver disease (GDCA-AUC: 0.924, 95%CI 0.822-1.000, p
