fecal epithelial cells

Fecal epithelial cells are a routine routine for bowel movements, which can understand digestion and absorption functions and help diagnose digestive diseases. The epithelial cells of the small and large intestine are columnar epithelial cells that are short or ovoid. Epithelial cells increase when the colon is inflamed, and many epithelial cells are seen in the mucosal patches of feces when pseudomembranous colitis occurs. Basic Information Specialist classification: Digestive examination classification: feces / parasitic examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Normal value: no Above normal: negative: A small amount is normally visible. Positive: A large number can be seen, suggesting that there may be enteritis and colitis. Tips: Due to the complexity of the operation, the patient needs to check with the doctor's request. Normal value A small amount is visible as normal. Clinical significance Abnormal results: The epithelial cells of the small and large intestine are columnar epithelial cells that are short or ovoid. Epithelial cells increase when the colon is inflamed, and many epithelial cells are seen in the mucosal patches of feces when pseudomembranous colitis occurs. Need to check the crowd: Abdominal pain, diarrhea symptoms. Positive results may be diseases: colitis, enteritis considerations Preparation before inspection: 1.

Requirements for inspection: Due to the complexity of the operation, the patient needs to check with the doctor's request. Inspection process Fecal smears were taken after a sufficient amount of feces was collected, examined by microscopy, and the results of the cells were examined. Control epithelial cell structure. Not suitable for the crowd This test is a non-invasive test, so it is not suitable for the population. Adverse reactions and risks This test is a non-invasive test and the test itself does not present complications and hazards.
