Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The main study parameter is the net organ flux of FGF19 across abdominal organs<br /><br>calculated by measuring FGF19 levels in human plasma using an enzyme-linked<br /><br>immuno-sorbent assay (ELISA) in cholestatic versus non-cholestatic patients and<br /><br>drained patients. Human plasma will be obtained during surgery from 7 vessels<br /><br>i) radial artery, ii) mesenteric superior vein, iii) mesenteric inferior vein,<br /><br>iv) renal vein, v) splenic vein, vi) hepatic vein and vii) portal vein to<br /><br>calculate net organ fluxes. </p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Secondary parameters are expression of genes related to bile salt and FGF19<br /><br>signaling in enterohepatic tissues (liver, jejunum, gallbladder, common bile<br /><br>duct and white adipose tissue), genes implicated in glucose and lipid<br /><br>homeostasis, FGF19 levels in bile, gut microbiota, cholestatic itch and bile<br /><br>salt composition in urine.</p><br>
