29
it is an increased fats in stool (>6g/day). orange droplets in microscope
steatorrhea
30
this test is the microscopic examination of feces for fat globules (orange droplet)
screening test
31
what is the definitive test for steatorrhea?
fecal fat determination
32
what is the 2 qualitative fecal fat test?
1. neutral fat stain (triglycerides) 2. split fat stain (fatty acids)
33
this qualitative fecal fat test uses stool suspension + 95% ethanol + sudan III with a result of > or = 60 droplets/hpf that indicates steatorrhea.
neutral fat stain (triglycerides)
34
this qualitative fecal fat test uses emulsified stool + 36% acetic acid + sudan III with a result of: normal: <100 droplets (<4 um) slightly increased: <100 droplets (1-8 um) increased: 100 droplets (6-75 um)
split fat stain (fatty acid)
35
it is the quantitative fecal fat test
Van de Kamer Titration
36
it is the gold standard for fecal fat determination which is used for definitive diagnosis of steatorrhea
Van de Kamer titration
37
this titration uses NAOH and the sample is collected within 3 days or 72 hours
van de kamer titration
38
what is the normal value in van de kamer titration?
1-6 g fats/day
39
what result in van de kamer shows the significance of steatorrhea?
>6 g fats/day
40
it is the abnormal secretion of muscle fibers in feces
creatorrhea
41
it is the 1st stool of newborns
meconium
42
it is the 1st stool of newborns
meconium
43
it is the blood in stool
hematochezia
44
how to determine creatorrhea?
1. patient should include red meat in diet 2. emulsified stool + 10% eosin = coverslip and stand for 3 minutes 3. count the # of undigested fibers (HPF)
45
this suggested completely digested muscle fibers
no striations
46
this suggested completely digested muscle fibers, and should be ignored
no striations
47
this suggests partially digested muscle fibers in stool, and should be ignored
striations in one direction
48
this suggest undigested muscle fibers and needed to be counted then reported
striations in both direction
49
clinical significance of an abnormal value of > 10 undigested muscle fibers
cystic fibrosis biliary obstruction
50
invasive condition in fecal leukocyte
>3 neutrophils/HPF
51
this indicates the presence of Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia, Enteroinvasive E. coli, Campylobacter
diarrhea with WBC
52
this indicates the presence of toxin producing (S. aureus, V. cholerae), viruses, parasites
diarrhea without WBC
53
what is the wet preparation for fecal leukocyte?
stool + Loeffler's methylene blue
54
what is the dried preparation for feal leukocyte?
stool + wright's or gram stain
55
it uses lactoferrin for fecal leukocyte determination
lactoferrin latex agglutination test
56
it is found in secondary granules of neutrophils which indicates + invasive bacterial pathogen
lactoferrin
57
it is the most frequently performed fecal analysis
fecal occult blood test
58
it is the most frequently performed fecal analysis
fecal occult blood test
59
fecal occult blood test is the screening for
colorectal cancer
60
what portion of specimen is used in FOBT
center portion
61
what is the significant result in FOBT?
>2.5 mL blood/150 g stool
62
it is the principle in FOBT
pseudoperoxidase activity of hemoglobin (Hgb)
63
chromogens in FOBT
benzidine (most sensitive) guaiac (most preferred) o-toluidine
64
what are the macroscopic consistency of stool?
formed semi-formed soft watery
65
avoid for 3 days (contains peroxidase): red meat melon brocolli cauliflower horseradish turnip
false positive interference
66
avoid for 7 days (falsely suggests presence of intrinsic lesions): aspirin = often causes erosion/gastric mucosa) nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent
false positive interferences
67
avoid for 3 days (decreases sensitivity): vitamin C (>250 mg/dL) iron supplements containing vitamin C *failure to wait specified time after sample is applied to add the developer reagent
false negative interferences
68
bloody stools and vomitus are sometimes seen in neonates as a result of swallowing maternal blood during delivery
APT test (APT-Downey)
69
APT Test pink solution
fetal blood
70
APT Test yellow-brown supernatant
maternal blood
71
it detects pancreatic enzyme called trypsin
X-ray Film test
72
clearing of film in X-ray film test
+ trypsin
73
no clearing in X-ray film tets
- trypsin
74
absence of trypsin in x-ray film test
cystic fibrosis (malabsorption)
75
it is the most valuable in assessing cases if infant diarrhea
fecal carbohydrates
76
determination tests in fecal carbohydrates
1. clinitest 2. fecal pH
77
clinitest of >0.5 g/dL
carbohydrate intolerance
78
normal stool ph
7.0-8.0 pH
79
stool pH for CHO disorders
