The amino acid pool of blood plasma, liver and bile was examined before and after operative elimination of biliary hypertension cause. The blood plasma concentration of the majority of free amino acids (especially the sulfur-containing and big neutral) before operation at cholestasis is increased in comparison with donors. For the bile outflow normalization after operation the most informative is the content in liver, blood plasma and bile of taurine, glycine and the amino acids metabolically associated with them.
