Popis:	We investigated the clinical usefulness of SeHCAT test in management of 28 patients with diarrhoeic syndrome using a collimated gammacamera. Abdominal retention of 75 Se (AR) lower than 8% suggests ileal disfunction that decreases the absorption of bile acids, as the cause of the diarrhoea. In patients with diarrhoeic syndromes this decrease can be used as criterion to establish specific treatment. In patients with normal AR other causes of diarrhoea must be looked for.
