Our study revealed 22 overlapping differential metabolites between serum and feces, displaying significant concentration differences between the DILI and healthy control groups. Notably, we identified chenodeoxycholic acid and deoxycholic acid as promising markers that not only distinguished DILI patients from healthy individuals but also exhibited predictive potential for DILI chronicity.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The integrated analysis of serum and fecal metabolites uncovers the significant disruption of bile acid metabolites as a key contributing factor in the pathogenesis of DILI. Our study offers promising potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of DILI, paving the way for a novel perspective in the realm of DILI diagnosis and treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":15484,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical and Translational Hepatology","volume":"13 8","pages":"619-629"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12375820/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144956097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
