Coprogram. Explanation

One of the methods of laboratory research is the analysis of feces (coprogram), the deciphering of which allows us to describe the chemical, physical and microscopic composition of them.

This common research allows you to diagnose abnormalities in acid-forming and processing gastric function, intestine, liver and pancreas. In order to detect accelerated transportation from the stomach and intestines, a coprogram is also applied. The analysis allows to reveal the presence of inflammatory processes in the digestive tract, colitis (spastic, ulcerative and allergic). With the help of the study, the nature of absorption disorders and the functioning of the duodenum and small intestine is determined . To identify dysbiosis, a coprogram is also applied.

The interpretation of the results also makes it possible to evaluate the changes against the background of the treatment. Specialists determine, therefore, the presence or absence of a therapeutic effect.

To ensure the accuracy and correctness of the study, a certain preparation for it is recommended. The preparatory measures include the refusal to take any medications that can provoke incorrect results. In particular, this category includes drugs that affect the state of the digestive system, the processes of digestion, absorption. The refusal of medicines must be done seven or ten days before the study.

If the study involves the detection of hidden blood, then it is necessary to cancel preparations that affect the blood condition (iron, for example). In addition, from the diet it is necessary to exclude for a while the fish, tomatoes, meat, as well as all kinds of green vegetables and greens.

Do not put enemas, take laxatives for a few days before giving up the coprogram. The interpretation of the results is most correct provided that the patient follows a certain diet for three to five days before the study. It includes dairy products, mashed potatoes, white bread and butter, one or two eggs a day, a small amount of fruit.

For the study, the spontaneously released morning feces without any excretions or urine are used. The biological material must be placed in a container. The test material must be taken to the laboratory on the day of collection. Keep feces in the cold.

A coprogram in children, especially newborns, is one of the most important studies. Practically 95% of toddlers have stool disorders, gas formation, and dysbacteriosis is often detected. This also makes it necessary to assign this analysis. Besides, undoubtedly, in time the carried out research allows to reveal presence of a pathology at the earliest stages.

Coprogram. Norm.

It should be noted that the interpretation of the analysis for children and adults is different.

The amount of feces of an adult person is from 100 to 200 grams, the child - from 70 to 90 grams per day.

The consistency of feces must be formalized and dense.

The normal color of feces is considered brown.

Normally, stools produce a characteristic, but not a sharp smell.

Reaction of stools should be neutral.

Adults normally have no bilirubin in their bowel movements. At that time, as in children's feces, he is present.

Always in the stool there is a sterkilin. Its increase may indicate hepatitis.

In the stool of a healthy person, soluble protein should not be detected. Otherwise, there is inflammation or ulcerative colitis.

PH at normal nutrition can range from six to eight units.

Normally, stool also lacks white blood cells and mucus.
