Analysis of the functionality of the gastrointestinal tract - fecal obstruction

People quite often fall ill with various diseases due to a certain way of life, ecological situation and individual characteristics. Naturally, in order to determine the type of disease and its degree, it is necessary to obtain certain information. As a rule, the patient's words are not enough, since most diseases can pass unnoticed for a person. A fecal staining program is one way of examining a patient. It allows you to detect defects in the work of the intestines, stomach, bladder, liver and pancreas. In addition, this analysis can determine the presence of inflammatory processes or establish the direction of treatment.

Consider what the feces analysis is for a coprogram.

A coprogram is a visual, chemical and biological analysis of a patient's stool for the presence of impurities or a change in its normal characteristics. The coprogram allows you to determine the characteristics of the functions of those bodies that can not be determined by other methods or you can do it only indirectly. In addition, this method of analysis is fairly simple and requires little special preparation of the patient or special equipment for sampling.

Fecal obstetrics program Requires only compliance with certain requirements:

1. Exclude the use of drugs of strong effect.

2. Do not perform preliminary various tests associated with the examination of the gastrointestinal tract.

3. Try to follow a diet prescribed by a doctor.

4. Exclude from the diet for a few days iron-containing foods.

Now let's look at what the kaloprogram of stool shows and its decoding. All the results of the coprogram can be divided into three stages: general stool analysis, chemical properties research and biological research (presence of impurities and microorganisms).

The analysis of feces is general.

Amount. The norm for adult patients is about 200 grams. Weight gain indicates a malfunction of the pancreas or a malfunction in the thick / small intestine.

The form. Norm for all - cylinders of different lengths. If the shape is different, this indicates a possible violation of the geometry of the canal or the instability of the digestive processes.

Consistency (physical state). The norm for all - dense mass. If the feces are liquid, this means an upset stomach (possibly due to medications or digestive problems).

Colour. The norm for everyone with an average diet is brown. Deviations in color are possible with excessive use of a product or the presence of decay processes.

Reaction of feces. The norm for all people of different ages (except for breast-feeding) is a slightly alkaline medium. It is allowed to be neutral or with PH 6 ... 7,2 in cases of diets, taking medications or predominance of a certain type of products. If the medium is alkaline, then in the intestine rotting processes are possible. If the acidic environment, then we can talk about excessive allocation of elements for the splitting of food.

Slime. Norm for all people - a small presence of mucus in the form of an enveloping shell. If there is a mucus in the form of flakes or fragmentary elements, then this indicates inflammation of the intestine.

Investigation of chemical properties.

The presence of hidden traces of blood. If a fecal curriculum showed the presence of blood particles, it is possible to assume the presence of mechanical damage of some of the elements of the gastrointestinal tract or of severe ulcerative processes.

Reaction to bilirubin and sterbilin. In a healthy body, sterocilin is present in the feces . He is responsible for the color of the products of the bowel movement. If its amount is below the norm, then it is possible to judge the liver disease (since it excretes it). If the amount is higher than the norm, then they say about the disease of the pancreas. Bilirubin is a raw material for sterocilin, so it should be absent in a healthy body. If it is present, it means a low content of sterocilin.

The presence of soluble protein. The norm for all patients is the complete absence of soluble proteins. Consequently, their presence indicates a failure in the digestive system or ulcerative processes.

Biological research.

Microorganisms. Naturally, normal stool tests do not contain any life forms. If any parasites are present, it is necessary to do pre-examination immediately and treat the esophagus in a complex manner.

Muscle fibers. Always present in small quantities. A large number speaks about the unbalanced work of the digestive system.

Vegetable fiber. Indirect analysis of the work of the stomach, as in the ideal it should not be. If it is available, then maybe you either chew on the food poorly, or the food has this quality, or the stomach does not provide enough juice for its digestion.

Fat. In the body of any healthy person, fats are completely digested. If it is present in the stool, then it is possible to judge the failure of one or more organs responsible for the digestion process.

Starch. As in the previous case, starch should be absent in the stool. Its presence shows the disease of the pancreas.

Connective tissue. Normally, there is none. If it is found, it only means a lack of hydrochloric acid in the body. It is necessary to examine organs that allocate (formulate) or use it.

The delivery of a coprogram is almost always carried out in the hospital, in order to comply with all the rules and regulations. If you want to make a fence yourself, then be sure to follow all the rules of how to hand over the coprogram. Possible option to call a specialist at home. It is also necessary to remember that the coprogram is dealt three times, for the reliability of the analyzes. Often every other day. So be ready for some correction of the diet and toilet procedures.
