Specific Aim #1: Establish a baseline of individual and total urinary BAs and BA-sulfates in healthy controls and patients with hepatobiliary diseases. A baseline reference of the average and distribution of the percentage of urinary BA-sulfates will be determined in healthy subjects and in patients with hepatobiliary diseases including chronic hepatitis C/B, alcoholic liver disease, hereditary, drug-induced, and autoimmune hepatobiliary diseases. The investigators working hypothesis is that patients' capability to sulfate total or specific BAs, as determined by the percentage of total or specific BAs excreted in the sulfate form, can predict the severity of hepatobiliary diseases, as determined by mayo model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score and compensation status(compensated and decompensated). Patients with higher MELD score are considered to be at higher risk of developing severe hepatobiliary complications.
