DIAGNOSIS OF ACUTE ENTERITIS BY DETERMINATION OF INTESTINAL FATTY ACID-BINDING PROTEIN IN THE BLOOD

摘要

Disclosed is a rapid and simple determination method for acute enteritis which can determine acute enteritis in a quantitative and objective manner. Also disclosed is a reagent for the determination. Detection of I-FABP is made in the separated blood. Preferably, the blood is human blood, the I-FABP is human I-FABP, and the detection of I-FABP in the blood is performed by an immunochemical method. The immunochemical method may be any one of an enzyme immunochemical assay, a latex agglutination assay and an immunochromatographic assay, and is preferably an enzyme immunochemical assay, more preferably a sandwich enzyme immunoassay.
