Bile acids occupy a central position in in the absorption, excretion and metab- olism of lipids within the body. Disorders of the enterohepatic circulation contribute to a correspondingly wide range of diseases, and recent developments have centred in particular on cholesterol gallstone disease and bile acid diarrhoea.
