Hola, solo una pregunta al azar.
¿Hay algún análisis de sangre específico que pueda ayudar a determinar si hay una enfermedad gastrointestinal? No me refiero a nada que pueda diagnosticar definitivamente una condición específica, sino algo que indique que podría haber un problema. Por ejemplo, niveles bajos de hierro podrían indicar un sangrado gastrointestinal, etc. También estoy al tanto de la detección del celiaquía. ¿Hay algo más?
También he tenido algunos problemas con las deposiciones y voy a pedir una cita con mi médico de cabecera. ¿Sería apropiado llevar una muestra de heces conmigo (tengo un par de tubos para muestras de orina y podría usar uno de ellos) o hay que esperar a que el médico de cabecera solicite una?
Gracias por cualquier ayuda.
hI,, You can have a faecal stool test for blood. You need to have 3 separate days samples and the pathology place will provide you with these. You can also be tested for any bacteria.
Re blood tests they just do a full blood examination.
Cheers.
You can request a fecael calprotectin test which detects inflammation levels in your colon. Higher levels can suggest IBD but further testing would be required to verify that.
Would wait for your doctor to order a fecal/stool test before supplying a sample. Some tests (like for c.diff) need to be submitted in a specific time frame so best to know that ahead of time and not have a sample degrade.
Hi: I suggest you do not take stool sample or urine sample containers because they will not use them. May be contaminated and not in your best interest.
Doc will no doubt request CBC along with lipids testing and you should request thyroid, A1c and B12 tests as part of your blood work. Since you haven't complained of abd. pain, I doubt he/she will request a CT scan but you might inquire about bile acid malabsorption (BAM) test, if you have burning after a bm or a burning hot feeling in your lower abd. If he/she thinks you have something that should be looked at in your gut or stomach, a colonoscopy and/or endoscopy may be suggested to you. Don't let the doc get away without telling you what you can do to improve or make the condition go away, When they don't find anything specific, they chalk it up to IBS and then tell you nothing about treating it.
Write down everything you want to ask before you go in. I usually have a consult prior to undressing and sitting on the exam table like the next victim. Good luck.
Muchas gracias por la información. Me hago análisis de A1c y tiroides regularmente como parte de mi cuidado de la diabetes y los hice en mayo y estaban bien.
Sí, estoy un poco preocupada de que solo digan, oh SII y ya está.
