Background: Babies need the presence of an adult, especially their mothers, from the moment they are born in order to have their needs fulfilled.

Diagnostic determination system for high-risk screening for inborn errors of bile acid metabolism based on an analysis of urinary bile acids using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry: Results for 10 years in Japanemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
Background: Some patients with cholestasis of unknown cause may have inborn errors of bile acid metabolism (IEBAM) thus causing abnormalities of bile acid biosynthesis. Although seven types of bile acid synthetic defects have thus far been reported for this disorder, no detailed information on its incidence and so on in Japan is yet available. In order to elucidate the current status of IEBAM in Japan, in July 1996 a diagnostic determination system was established for high-risk screening for IEBAM.Methods: Urinary bile acids were analyzed on gas chromatography[ndash]mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and quantitative analysis was d...

Background: Family history of lifestyle-related diseases is an important risk factor and is widely used in epidemiologic studies.
