Abnormal lactic dehydrogenase isoenzyme patterns in ulcerative colitis with precancerous change.

The isoenzyme pattern of lactic dehydrogenase was measured in rectal biopsies from six patients with ulcerative colitis in whom precancerous histological changes had been independently recognized. There was a highly significant increase in the ratio of isoenzymes IV + V to I + II. This suggests that lactic dehydrogenase isoenzyme measurement may prove a valuable addition to histology in the recognition of precancer in ulcerative colitis.

Serum bile acids in liver disease.

Serum bile acids have been measured in patients with a wide variety of liver diseases using a technique which separates the major individual conjugated and free bile acids. Total serum bile acids may be elevated up to 100 times the normal concentration in patients with liver disease and this increase consists largely of conjugated bile acids. The ratio of glycine-conjugated to taurine-conjugated bile salts is low in all types of liver disease and this is found particularly in the serum of patients with obstructive jaundice. There is a decrease in the ratio of trihydroxy:dihydroxy cholanic acid in patients with cirrhosis.
