Postinfective bile acid malabsorption: is this a long-term condition?

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Postinfective bile acid malabsorption comprises a group of patients with a history of an episode of acute gastroenteritis triggering chronic diarrhoea. We identified these patients retrospectively from our medical records and assessed their long-term clinical course. MATERIALS AND METHODS:We examined the records of 135 patients with 75 selenium-homocholic acid taurine results less than 10% (1 week retention). RESULTS:Twenty-five patients (13 female, 12 male) had a diagnosis of postinfective bile acid malabsorption established after extensive investigations. Cholestyramine was used to treat diarrhoea with a mean frequency of diarrhoea decreasing from 7.8 to 1.9 (P=0.001). The mean cholestyramine dose decreased from 8.2 to 5.4 g/day (P=0.005). Eighteen of 25 (72%) patients had a successful resolution of their diarrhoea by cholestyramine and have continued it to date. The median duration of outpatient follow-up was 1.58 years (range: 1-5 years). A further prospective telephone enquiry of these 18 patients revealed that 15 of 18 patients continued to take cholestyramine (median: 6 years, range: 1-15 years). There were no hospital admissions related to diarrhoea and there was no mortality in this group of patients. CONCLUSION:The long-term outlook of this group of patients is excellent. We have shown the chronic nature of this condition as evidenced by the continued requirement of cholestyramine.
