C mixed triglyceride breath test
There is no easy and reliable test universally accepted in clinical practice to measure fat digestion. Fat balance studies are insensitive and unpleasant for regular clinical assessment, direct measures of pancreatic function are impractical for repeated use, the “steatocrit” method is not quantitative; tubeless tests have not proved to be eVective substitutes; and clinical measures, such as st...
متن کاملGender affects 13C-ketoisocaproic acid breath test.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS 13C-Ketoisocaproic Acid Breath Test (13C-Kica-BT) has been proposed to assess mitochondrial function. Aim of this study is to evaluate whether gender affects mithocondrial oxidation by means of 13C-Kica-BT in healthy subjects in basal conditions and after an acute oxidative stress induced by ethanol. METHODOLOGY 50 healthy volunteers were given 1 mg/kg of 13C-Kica together...
متن کاملThe 13C-urea breath test to detect Helicobacter pylori infection: a validated simple methodology with 50 mg 13C-urea.
BACKGROUND Several modifications of the 13C-urea breath test have been published. For reasons of cost efficiency and practicability, the urea dose and measurement duration should be reduced while still maintaining excellent diagnostic accuracy. AIMS To establish a validated simple protocol for the urea breath test with 50 mg 13C-urea and to compare this protocol with the conventional urea bre...
متن کاملLow dose capsule based 13c-urea breath test compared with the conventional 13c-urea breath test and invasive tests.
CONTEXT One of the limitations of 13C-urea breath test for Helicobacter pylori infection diagnosis in Brazil is the substrate acquisition in capsule presentation. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate a capsule-based 13C-urea, manipulated by the Pharmacy Division, for the clinical practice. METHODS Fifty patients underwent the conventional and the capsule breath test. Samples...
متن کامل13Carbon mixed triglyceride breath test and pancreatic enzyme supplementation in cystic fibrosis.
Children with cystic fibrosis have variable degrees of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency which, if untreated, is the main cause of fat malabsorption. The impact of pancreatic enzyme supplementation on fat digestion was measured in 41 children with cystic fibrosis, 11 healthy controls, and five children with mucosal diseases by a non-invasive test of intraluminal lipolysis using 13carbon (13C) l...
