Main primary bile acids: CA, tauro-CA, glyco-CA, CDCA, tauro-CDCA, glyco-CDCA. Main secondary bile acids: DCA, tauro-DCA, glyco-DCA, LCA, tauro-LCA, glyco-LCA. Proportion %: proportion of calculated bile acids, e.g., proportion of total CA (total CA, tauro-CA, glyco-CA) in calculated main primary (CA, tauro-CA, glyco-CA, CDCA, tauro-CDCA, glyco-CDCA) and secondary bile acids (DCA, tauro-DCA, glyco-DCA, LCA, tauro-LCA, glyco-LCA). HC, healthy controls. *Bile acid profiles after PIBD.
