摘要
AIM: To assess feasibility of a finger prick-based kit as method for self-testing of first and second-degree relatives of coeliac disease (CD) patients. METHODS: A total number of 379 subjects were invited to participate in this study, consisting of 197 first-degree and 182 second-degree relatives of CD patients. The self-testing kit (Biocard (TM)) was sent out with included instructions for use. Completed tests were sent back to the study coordinator for assessment. RESULTS: One hundred and ninety-six invited relatives carried out the Biocard (TM) test at home. Amongst these, 70% were children. In 97% of the cases the test was performed correctly. Three tests revealed a positive result, all of which were later confirmed by serology and histology as coeliac disease. CONCLUSION: Our study indicates that Biocard (TM) test is a reliable, easy to use and well-accepted tool for home testing of first- and second-degree relatives of CD patients. (C) 2011 Baishideng.
