Kvantitativ bestemmelse av sukker

Den kvantitative bestemmelsen av sukker i avføring er en diagnostisk test som hovedsakelig brukes for å påvise karbohydratmalabsorpsjon. Denne typen test er verdifull for diagnostisering av tilstander som laktoseintoleranse, fruktoseintoleranse og andre lidelser hvor fordøyelsen og opptaket av sukkerarter er svekket. Ved å måle nivåene av sukkerarter som laktose, fruktose eller sorbitol i avføringen, kan helsepersonell identifisere hvilke spesifikke sukkerarter pasientens fordøyelsessystem ikke klarer å bearbeide effektivt. Tilstedeværelsen av ufordøyde sukkerarter i avføringen fører ofte til symptomer som oppblåsthet, gass, diaré og mavesmerter....

Beskrivelse

Who should undergo the quantitative determination of sugar test?

Individuals experiencing symptoms of carbohydrate malabsorption such as gas, bloating, diarrhea, and abdominal pain after consuming certain sugars should consider this test. It is particularly recommended for those suspected of having lactose or fructose intolerance or other related digestive disorders.

What are the typical symptoms indicating a need for a stool sugar test?

Symptoms that may warrant a stool sugar test include chronic diarrhea, abdominal cramps, bloating, and gas, especially following the consumption of specific types of carbohydrates like dairy products (lactose) or fruits and sweeteners (fructose).

What causes abnormal results in a stool sugar test?

Abnormal results are generally caused by an inability to digest certain sugars due to deficiencies in specific enzymes like lactase in the case of lactose intolerance or issues with the transport mechanisms in the intestinal cells. These deficiencies prevent the normal breakdown and absorption of sugars.

How is the quantitative determination of sugar performed?

The samples are analyzed in a laboratory to detect and measure the amount of undigested sugars, indicating malabsorption.
