METHOD FOR DIAGNOSIS OF COURSE SEVERITY OF ULCEROUS COLITIS Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC G01N33/92 G01N33/50 

FIELD: medicine, gastroenterology.

SUBSTANCE: method involves assay of cystic bile biochemical composition and severe course of ulcerous colitis is diagnosed in case of the decreasing concentration of cholesterol to 0.5 mmole/l, bile acids to 1.5 mmole/l, phospholipids to 1.8 mmole/l as compared with normal value, decreasing cholate-cholesterol coefficient to 3 and lower, increasing Thomas-Hoffmann coefficient to 1.7 and above, Swell index to 7.7 and above, and Rubens index to 4.9 and above. Using the proposed method allows enhancing precision and information content of diagnosis of severe degree of ulcerous colitis.
