The invention provides two new applications of
taurochenodeoxycholic acid (TCDCA) in the field of
alcohol related liver diseases (ALD), and belongs to the field of biological medicines. First, the invention proposes that TCDCA is used as a biomarker for auxiliary diagnosis and / or staging evaluation of ALD for the first time.
Clinical research finds that the level of TCDCA in human serum is in significant
positive correlation with the severity of ALD, and the TCDCA has extremely high accuracy in ALD diagnosis and can effectively assist in distinguishing different stages of diseases. Secondly, the invention discloses an application of TCDCA in preparation of a
medicine for preventing and / or treating ALD (Atomic Lymphosis
Disease). Researches show that the TCDCA can save
ethanol-induced liver
cell activity decline in a concentration-
dependent manner and improve liver
pathological indexes of mice. The TCDCA has double values of being used as an excellent biomarker and an effective prevention and treatment component, and a brand new strategy is provided for accurate diagnosis and prevention and treatment of ALD.
