METHOD OF LATENT BLOOD LOSS DIAGNOSTICS IN PATIENTS WITH GASTRODUODENAL ULCERS

Abstract

With blood loss of 50 ml a day there is no clinical signs, and blood presence in feces remains invisible. Losses like this are present in 80% of patients with gastroduodenal ulcers and, as a rule, present at complications. The cheapest and commonly used method of its detection is the occult blood feces analysis. The aim of the present investigation was to study the efficiency of different methods of occult blood feces analyses (hemoccult and immune-chemical occult blood feces analyses) as a screening method of the gastric cancer diagnostics. The investigation has revealed that hemoccult analysis is much more specific and sensitive than immune-chemical occult blood feces analysis in the diagnostics of the latent blood loss in patients with gastroduodenal ulcers which makes it more useful as a screening method to detect latent bleeding in upper regions of the GI tract.
