Urinary excretion of 4-hydroxy-3 methoxy mandelic acid (VMA) was used as an index of catecholamine activity in 59 cases of ulcerative colitis compared with 59 controls and 18 cases of diarrhoea of nervous origin. No significant differences were observed between cases and controls but the level of VMA excretion was raised in nervous diarrhoea.
在59例溃疡性结肠炎患者中,尿中4-羟基-3-甲氧基扁桃酸(VMA)的排泄量被用作儿茶酚胺活性指标,并与59例对照者以及18例神经性腹泻患者进行比较。病例组与对照组之间未观察到显著差异,但神经性腹泻患者的VMA排泄水平升高。
