To present a case of colopathy related to the use of diclofenac in a patient with a positive immunochemical faecal occult blood test (iFOBT) and to discuss the influence of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on iFOBT specificity.
A colonoscopy in a 56-year-old female presenting with a positive iFOBT revealed diaphragm-like strictures and ulcers in the right colon. While carrying out a detailed retrospective interview, she reported a chronic backache requiring long-term NSAID treatment.
No association has been established between chronic use of NSAID and a false-positive iFOBT. There is no need to stop NSAIDs before performing an iFOBT in a colorectal cancer screening program.
报告一例与使用双氯芬酸相关的结肠病,该患者免疫化学粪便隐血试验(iFOBT)阳性,并讨论非甾体抗炎药(NSAIDs)对 iFOBT 特异性的影响。
对一名 56 岁女性进行结肠镜检查,该患者 iFOBT 阳性,结果显示右半结肠存在膈状狭窄和溃疡。在进行详细的回顾性访谈时,她报告称长期背痛需要长期使用 NSAIDs 治疗。
慢性使用 NSAIDs 与 iFOBT 假阳性之间没有关联。在结直肠癌筛查计划中进行 iFOBT 之前,无需停止 NSAIDs。
