Usefulness of intestinal fatty acid-binding protein in predicting strangulated small bowel obstruction.

Usefulness of intestinal fatty acid-binding protein in predicting strangulated small bowel obstruction.

BACKGROUND: The level of intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP) is considered to be useful diagnostic markers of small bowel ischemia. The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate whether the serum I-FABP level is a predictive marker of strangulation in patients with small bowe...
