Negli individui che presentano intolleranza al lattosio, il consumo di latte e latticini provoca disturbi gastrointestinali quali gonfiore, dolori, crampi, diarrea, nausea e spossatezza. Se il lattosio non viene digerito nei suoi due zuccheri costituenti, galattosio e glucosio, si accumula nell’intestino, richiamando liquidi e dando origine ad un processo di fermentazione, operato dalla flora batterica intestinale, con produzione di un gas, l’idrogeno, che viene eliminato con la respirazione. Per diagnosticare questo disturbo disponiamo di due tipologie di test. Con il test del Respiro, si analizzano i picchi di concentrazione di idrogeno nell’aria espirata dopo aver fatto ingerire del lattosio. Con il test del DNA viene individuata la presenza del gene responsabile dell’ ipolattasia causata dalla mancanza dell’enzima lattasi. E’ indicato nei soggetti che presentano sintomatologia o familiarità e nei bambini, visto il sistema di prelievo semplice, veloce e non invasivo, non prevedendo l’ingestione di un liquido contenente lattosio. Possiede, inoltre, un’ affidabilità e ripetibilità del 100%.

Liver Function Test FAQs

LFTs are a set of liver protein tests for checking for abnormal liver function. These tests involve albumin levels and total protein levels in the blood. ALP (alkaline phosphatase), ALT (alanine transaminase), AST (aspartate aminotransferase), LDH, and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT).

If you are undergoing long-term therapy for chronic disease or acute hepatic infection or have experienced jaundice, nausea and vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, dark-coloured urine, pale stool, or fatigue, then LFTs are important.

The results either report elevation or demotion of enzymes/proteins in the liver. The doctor must carefully differentially diagnose your condition according to enzyme levels and aid in drug therapy selection.
