The D-xylose Excretion Test in Coeliac Disease in Childhood.
The value of the d-xylose test in the investigation of malabsorption in children has recently been discussed (Clark, 1962; Jones and di Sant' Agnese, 1963). Clark (1962) employed it in five untreated, and four treated, children suffering from coeliac disease, and Jones and di Sant' Agnese (1963) reported its use in two patients with coeliac disease before and after treatment.

متن کاملValue of 1-hour blood-xylose test in diagnosis of childhood coeliac disease.
In a series of 46 children with untreated coeliac disease and in 102 controls with normal mucosa the 1-hour blood-xylose test was, in view of its simplicity, of much value in the diagnosis of childhood coeliac disease.

We aimed to explore the effect of chronic alcohol overconsumption on gut microbial metabolism, as assessed by evaluating 13C-D-xylose breath test results. Materials and methods: We investigated all 13C-D-xylose breath tests performed at Lovisenberg Diaconal Hospital durin...
متن کاملThe 15 g D-xylose absorption test: its application to the study of coeliac disease.
The absorption of xylose following an oral load of 15 g D-xylose has been studied by serial blood levels in 17 untreated adult coeliac patients, 21 treated coeliac patients, and 30 non-coeliac patients. A statistically significant difference in xylose blood levels was found between untreated coeliac and non-coeliac patients at all the times studied, but a complete separation between these two g...
متن کاملThe future of 13C-breath tests.
13C-breath tests are widely applied as a tool to investigate metabolic processes and infectious diseases, but most of them have not yet entered into clinical practice. In order to promote the introduction of more 13C-breath tests into clinical routine application we evaluated the tests so far known with respect to some reasonable criteria, which are valued by one of three marks. The sum sigma o...
