Coprogram - decoding

Like urine analysis, stool examination can be very informative. The raw material necessary for it is a product of the vital activity of a person, which is produced in the large intestine. Its formation is preceded by an impressive number of different biochemical processes. A competent interpretation of the coprogram will help to find out many interesting facts about the state of the organism and the functioning of its basic systems.

To decipher the coprogram was satisfactory

In order for the results of the analysis of stool to be satisfactory, you need to properly prepare for it. This can take three to four days. The main essence of training is cleansing of the intestine. To do this, you must adhere to a simple diet:

1. Meals for Pevzner. This diet involves the use of bread, meat (in fried and boiled form), buckwheat, rice, sauerkraut, fresh apples, potatoes, butter. In total, a day to eat about 3000 kcal.
2. Meals according to Schmidt. According to this diet, you need to eat up to five times a day. The diet should consist mainly of milk. It can be varied with potatoes, meat, a couple of eggs, oatmeal. The maximum daily rate of kilocalories is from 2200 to 2400.

Decoding of the general analysis of the feces

The professional, of course, will explain more and more clearly. And yet, as the basic indicators of analysis are deciphered, one should know:

1. Consistency, shape. Healthy feces looks decorated. Liquid bowel movements are diarrhea. It can cause various disorders in the body and disease: pancreatitis, colitis, enteritis, increased intestinal peristalsis, Crohn's disease. Sometimes there is a calatoid form, which indicates spasms in the rectum or sigmoid colon. Too hard and dense stools are the consequences of increased water absorption during constipation.
2. Colour. This is an important point in deciphering a fecal matter. Stools of a healthy person should be brown. Coloration can vary depending on what the patient takes for food. It should be worried if the feces are discolored, contains uncleaved particles of fat or become reddish. Symptoms may indicate cirrhosis, hepatitis, oncology, bleeding in the lower intestine, pancreatitis, ulcerative colitis.
3. Slime. It can be contained in decoding of the analysis of the coprogram, but in very small quantities. A lot of mucus is a sign of hemorrhoids, cystic fibrosis, diverticulitis , intestinal infection.
4. Reaction to stercobilin. Should be positive.
5. Reaction to bilirubin. Should be negative.
6. Smell. This factor is also considered in the decoding of the fecal curative in adults. Smelling feces should be specific, but not dramatically. Strengthen the "fragrance" with diarrhea and meat ration. A sharp and fetid smell is a sign that a putrefactive process develops in the intestine. An acid sour additive indicates an increased content of fatty acids.
7. Blood. It should not be in the analysis. More precisely, micro portions of blood are allocated all the time, but you can not notice them without special instruments. If there are a lot of bloody veins in the stool, there is the likelihood of developing proctitis, hemorrhoids, stomach or duodenal ulcers, and neoplastic diseases.
8. Leukocytes. They should not be in sight at all. If in the deciphering of the coprogram the white blood cells are contained in the amount of 30, 35 or 40 units, most likely, you will have to fight with enteritis, colitis, or heal cracks in the rectum.
9. Pus. It also should not be. The appearance of it can become a sign of dysentery , tuberculosis of the intestine, breakthroughs of abscesses.
