I-FABP, a fatty-acid-binding protein, is considered as a highly sensitive and highly specific marker of damage to the intestinal mucosa and could be used as an informative indicator of its affection in gastrointestinal insufficiency syndrome in newborns. Damage to the mucous membrane in patients requiring intensive care will always be accompanied by the basic mechanisms of critical states, ischemia and hypoxia. The aim of the work was to improve the diagnosis and assessment of the effectiveness of intensive care in newborns with gastrointestinal insufficiency syndrome by determining the I-FABP level. A prospective randomized clinical study included 20 newborns with gastrointestinal insufficiency syndrome. The concentration of blood plasma I-FABP in the examined patients was investigated, depending on the severity of the syndrome and the tactics of intensive care. It was established that the I-FABP concentration in 95% of cases was higher than the physiological value. This marker was significantly increased in newborns with clinically significant gastrointestinal insufficiency syndrome and decreased with lowering manifestations of this syndrome and under modified therapy with succinic acid and lactobacillus probiotics. Thus, an increase in the I-FABP concentration in newborns receiving an intensive care in 95% of cases points out the presence of gastrointestinal insufficiency syndrome that confirms a high sensitivity of the indicator. This marker can be used as a criterion for evaluating dynamics and stages of gastrointestinal insufficiency syndrome, accompanied by organic disorders, as well as a criterion for measuring the therapeutic efficacy for this syndrome.
