Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency: Comparing fecal elastase 1 with 72-h stool for fecal fat estimation.
INTRODUCTION Identification of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) is important in the management of chronic pancreatitis. The 72-h stool for fecal fat estimation (FFE) has long been considered a gold standard indirect test for the diagnosis of PEI. However, the test is cumbersome for both patients and laboratory personnel alike. In this study, we aimed to assess fecal elastase 1 (FE1) as a...
متن کاملCan combination of hysterosalpingography and ultrasound replace hysteroscopy in diagnosis of uterine malformations in infertile women?
Background: Müllerian anomalies are associated with infertility. Hysteroscopy as the gold standard for evaluating Müllerian anomalies is an invasive, expensive and risky procedure which requires enough experience. Transvaginal sonography (TVS) and hysterosalpingography (HSG) are less invasive procedures, but there is little known about the accuracy of these tests. The aim of this stud...
متن کاملFecal elastase-1 is useful in the detection of steatorrhea in patients with pancreatic diseases but not after pancreatic resection.
BACKGROUND Fecal elastase-1(FE-1) has been suggested as an alternative to steatorrhea quantification to evaluate pancreatic insufficiency, but its diagnostic performance has not been compared with steatorrhea in chronic pancreatitis or after pancreatic resection. METHODS The relationship between steatorrhea and FE-1 was studied in patients with chronic pancreatic disorders or pancreatic resec...
متن کاملA Predictive Model Combining Fecal Calgranulin B and Fecal Occult Blood Tests Can Improve the Diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer
AIM Current fecal screening tools for colorectal cancer (CRC), such as fecal occult blood tests (FOBT), are limited by their low sensitivity. Calgranulin B (CALB) was previously reported as a candidate fecal marker for CRC. This study investigated whether a combination of the FOBT and fecal CALB has increased sensitivity and specificity for a diagnosis of CRC. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients w...
