Abstract:
Serum concentrations of total and ester cholesterol and Lp-X of 82 hepatobi-liary diseases were determined. It shewed that the levels cf total cholesterol and LP-X in cholestasis due to extrahepatic obstruction are significantly higher than that in intrahepatic cholestasis. Both levels exceeded 200 mg/dl in 12 out of 18 cases of extrahepatic obstruction caused by carcinoma, but they never exceeded 200 mg/dl in 41 cases of intrahepatic cholestasis.Quantitation of both Lp-X and total cholesterol in cholestasis appears to provide more informafions than the determination of other one of them alone. Determination of free or ester cholesterol gives little clinical value in distin-quishing extrahepatic from intrahepatic cholestasis.
