Diagnosis of fat malabsorption by breath tests: just a breeze?
studies published in English that directly investigate absorption of various nutrients in patients following gastric resections [3–7] . Accordingly, the current study performed by Nakamura et al. [1] makes a significant contribution to our understanding of pathophysiological consequences of different surgical procedures for reconstruction after gastrectomy and may help to guide the choice of su...
متن کاملComparison of simple screening tests for fat malabsorption.
Three tests were evaluated as screening procedures for fat malabsorption--namely, measurement of serum optical density, serum triglyceride concentration, and 14CO2 breath excretion after the administration of a 60 g fat meal containing 10 muCi glycerol tri[1-14C]oleate. The results of these tests were compared with fat excreted in a three-day faecal collection after adjustment for completeness ...
متن کاملAssessment of fat malabsorption.
For the assessment of fat malabsorption, the standard method of measuring faecal fat excretion using a 5 day stool collection has been compared with the alternative methods: stool microscopy, a lipid tolerance test and a continuous marker technique for the estimation of fat content on a single stool sample. The lipid test, using an emulsion of arachis oil (Prosparol), was less reliable than had...
متن کاملLactose malabsorption during gastroenteritis, assessed by the hydrogen breath test.
Thirty-eight infants and young children with gastroenteritis were investigated for lactose malabsorption. Each of them was given an oral lactose load of either 0.5 g/kg or 2 g/kg after which breath hydrogen excretion was measured, and each was observed to see if he had clinical symptoms of lactose intolerance. Only one patient, given 2 g/kg lactose, had clinical intolerance. His breath hydrogen...
