The Role of Hereditary Risk Factors in Forming Low Amylolytic Activity of Saliva in Children with Chronic Inflammatory Gastric and Duodenal Diseases
Low activity of saliva α-amylase has been stated to be registered in every second child with chronic inflammatory gastric and duodenal diseases at the age of 3—7 years, more frequently against the background of alimentary allergy. The risk factors of forming low activity of α-amylase saliva have been revealed. The data obtained allows recommending a saliva amylolytic activity test as a noninvasive screening of chronic inflammatory gastric and duodenal diseases in preschool children.
