Medical Practice
M2-PK is specific for the altered metabolic activity of cells (direct process). Non-bleeding polyps and intestinal tumours are also detected, as M2-PK is independent of blood.
Die M2-PK is a modern enzyme biomarker and has been identified as the key enzyme in polyps and intestinal tumours. The enzyme M2-PK is completely independent of the presence of blood in the stool. M2-PK is specific for the altered metabolic activity of cells (direct procedure). Non-bleeding polyps and intestinal tumours are also detected, as the M2-PK is independent of blood.
An entirely different process is immunological blood in stool detection (iFOB) for the determination of human hemoglobin (Hb). This procedure depends on the presence of a source of bleeding in the intestine (indirect method). The modern immunological blood in stool detection (iFOB) has significant advantages over the outdated biochemical blood-in-stool test (FOB); so-called “guaiac” or “hemoccult” test. The modern immunological blood in stool detection (iFOB) of hemoglobin (Hb) represents a significant improvement over the previously used guaiac test (FOB). Only specific antibodies against human hemoglobin (Hb) used.
The strength of testing ScheBo® • 2-in-1 Quick™ (M2-PK + Hb) is primarily due to the fact that M2-PK enzyme biomarker- and immunological “blood-in-stool” detection (Hb) Measure completely independent and different things and therefore each makes an additional important contribution to colorectal cancer prevention. Based on combined testing of M2-PK and Hb Is it possible to detect both bleeding and non-bleeding intestinal polyps or tumors.
Sample material: tiny stool sample
As an additional option to the patented M2-PK individual test ScheBo, which is already on the market® • M2-PK Quick™ can the registered doctor take the ScheBo test® • Now use 2in1 Quick™ (M2-PK + Hb) in his own practice and bill as an IGEL benefit. In addition, the M2-PK individual test is still available as a quantitative measurement by a laboratory specialist.
