The office of functional diagnostics conducts the following diagnostic researches:

  • PRECISE-diagnostics: for analysis of heart rate variability using cloud technology of automated ECG interpretation with analysis of more than 700 parameters based on the Minnesota code.
  • FibroScan 502 – apparatus for non-invasive determination of the degree of liver fibrosis (elasticity) (transient elastometry method) and the degree of hepatic steatosis (CAP function).
  • TANITA MC-780MA-body composition analyzer.
  • Probe research methods: duodenal probing with bile collection for further biochemical and microbiological studies, fractional duodenal probing to determine the sphincter of the hepatobiliary system, gastric juice collection to study aggressive and protective factors of the gastric mucosa using various stimuli.
  • ECG.

Preparing for FibroScan:

FibroScan 502 is a modern non-invasive method for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis and steatosis. Allows to diagnose the early stage of fibrosis and steatosis, corresponding to F1 according to METAVIR and SAR SI, the specificity and sensitivity of the method at the stages of fibrosis F3 / F4 is close to 100%. The diagnostic capabilities of the FibroScan device allow to determine the degree of liver fibrosis and steatosis at all stages of their development, starting with minimal changes, which is very important to provide timely and complete care to the patient.

On the day of the study: FibroScan is performed on an empty stomach.

On the day of the study:FibroScan is performed on an empty stomach.

Contraindications: Pregnancy, pacemaker, ascites.

Preparing for TANITA:

TANITAMC-780MA Body Composition Analyzer This device is used to diagnose health and diseases related to changes in weight and body composition. Age range from 5 years to 99 years. TANITA measures BMI, weight, fat, fat mass, lean mass, visceral fat, muscle mass, bone mass, water balance, kcal, metabolic age, sarcopenic index, phase angle.

On the day of the study:

  1. Weighing is done barefoot.
  2. The bladder must be emptied beforehand.
  3. Body measurements are performed on an empty stomach.

On the eve of the study:

  1. Weighing is not recommended immediately after active exercise
  2. It is not recommended to drink a lot of liquids before weighing.
  3. It is not recommended to eat a lot of foods that contain salt before weighing for a few days. (salted fish, pickled vegetables).

Preparation for the hydrogen breath test.

Hydrogen breath test is a modern non-invasive method for diagnosing disorders of the small intestinal microflora and intolerance of certain food components (lactose, fructose, sorbitol). The method is easy to carry out, painless and safe.

At the beginning of the study it is necessary to measure the basal level of hydrogen in the exhaled air, for this you will be asked to exhale air through the mouthpiece into the measuring chamber of the device.

Next you will need to drink a solution of the carbohydrate glucose (lactose, lactulose, fructose or sorbitol).

Subsequent measurements of the level of hydrogen in exhaled air are performed every 15-30 minutes for 2-3 hours (depending on the clinical situation).

During the test you should not eat, drink, chew gum, smoke, sleep, exercise.

Be prepared to set aside 2-3 hours for a respiratory hydrogen test.

Preparation for the hydrogen breath test.

On the eve of the study:

  • 24 hours before the test you need to exclude from the diet: apples, bananas, cabbage, potatoes, onions, garlic, legumes, pickled vegetables, smoked products, milk, juices, chocolate, sweets, cookies, carbonated beverages);
  • 14 hours (at least) before the test you will refrain from eating (during all this time you can drink a small amount of water);
  • your last meal before the test (usually 19:00 before the test) should be light and free of dietary fiber;
  • 12 hours before the test you should stop smoking and chewing gum.

On the day of the study:

  • 2 hours before the study and further during the test you should not sleep or exercise;
  • you should brush your teeth in the morning.
  • If you are taking any medications, they can be taken on the day of the test (except for vitamins, laxatives, antibiotics and probiotics) by drinking them with drinking water.
