Ursodeoxycholic acid
Explanation: Ursodeoxycholic acid is a bile acid that helps the body digest fats and absorb fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K. It is naturally produced in small amounts by the liver, but it is also available as a medication to treat certain liver and gallbladder diseases as ursodeoxycholic acid can protect liver cells, improve bile flow, and help dissolve certain types of gallstones.
Test purpose: Testing its levels helps monitor treatments for liver and bile duct disorders, as well as conditions like gallstones. It plays a vital role in managing certain chronic liver conditions.
