Bile acids are a sensitive liver function test in birds. They measure how well the liver produces bile and the portal circulation delivers it to the intestines. Normal levels indicate good liver function.
Low bile acids in birds are generally not clinically significant and can be seen in healthy individuals, especially if the bird was not properly fasted before testing.
No specific action is typically needed, but ensure proper fasting protocol for future testing.

No action needed.
Avian bile acids: 25 µmol/LHigh bile acids indicate reduced liver function or impaired blood flow through the liver (portal circulation). Causes include hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, portosystemic shunts, or noticeable hepatitis.
This is a significant finding. Your veterinarian will likely recommend further liver diagnostics including ultrasound and potentially a liver biopsy.
