Background & Aims: Acute ischemic diseases of the small bower are lethal emergencies with no reliable diagnostic biochemical tests available. Experimental studies have suggested rat intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP) as a serum marker reflecting bowel ischemia; the present study evaluates the human homologue (human I-FABP) as a serum marker for the diagnosis of acute ischemic diseases of the bowel. Methods: Enzyme immunoassay was applied to determine I-FABP levels in the sera of 96 subjects: 13 preoperative patients with ischemic bower diseases (5 cases of mesenteric infarction and 8 cases of strangulated obstruction of the small bowel), 35 healthy subjects, and 48 hospitalized patients with acute abdominal pain. Results: Serum I-FABP levels were
