Abstract

The topical question of present-day gastroenterology is the search for simple and noninvasive methods, which could disclose organic bowels pathology and determine the indications for the subsequent deep examination of patients. The research aim was to study diagnostic possibilities of faecal stoolprotectine and immunochemical test, including their combined application in differential diagnostics of clinically important organic and functional bowels pathology. 165 patients with clinically important organic bowels pathology and 93 patients with irritable bowel syndrome have been examined. It has been proved, that considering the diagnostic importance in revealing clinically important organic bowels pathology, the faecal stoolprotectine exceeds: the immunochemical test (0,87; CO: 0,02), anxiety syndrome (0,78; CO: 0,03, p < 0,01) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (0,74; CO: 0,03, Z = 5,75, p < 0,01). The combined application of the faecal stoolprotectine and immunochemical test allows to raise the test sensitivity up to 96,1 % (95 % 91,8/98,6).
