Use of dried urine spots for screening of inborn errors of bile acid synthesis

In pediatric patients with cholestasis of unknown cause, inborn errors of bile acid (BA) synthesis (IEBAS) may be considered. For the initial screening for IEBAS, clarification of the urine BA profile is essential. The transportation of urine in a frozen state via air delivery, however, is laborious and costly. This study assessed the feasibility of using dried urine spots (DUS) to establish a more convenient and affordable method of IEBAS screening.
