Mechanisms of triglyceride metabolism in patients with bile acid diarrhea

Table 1 Studies measuring lipid levels in patients with bile acid diarrhoea

Study	Type of BAD	Patients	Results
Hakala et al[23]	Secondary	24 patients with IAA + ileal pouch	↓ LDL chol
1997		20 controls	↓ LDL + HDL triglycerides
Akerlund et al[24]	Secondary	12 patients with IAA + ileal pouch	↓ LDL chol
1994			↑ VLDL triglycerides
Walters et al[32]	Primary	47 patients with BAD	↑ Triglycerides in 13/47 (27.7%)
2015		59 controls
This study	Total	67 patients	↑ Triglycerides in 25/67 (37.3%)
2015	Primary	48 patients	18/48 with PBAD (37.5%)
	Secondary	19 patients	7/19 with SBAD (36.8%)

BAD: Bile acid diarrhoea; VLDL: Very low-density lipoproteins; LDL: Low-density lipoproteins.
