Lactose 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...
متن کاملBreath hydrogen test for detecting lactose malabsorption in infants and children. Prevalence of lactose malabsorption in Japanese children and adults.
The breath hydrogen test (BHT) was adapted for use in young infants and children. The diagnostic criterion of sugar malabsorption in the BHT was determined by oral administration of 0.5 g/kg of unabsorbable sugar (lactulose) to 21 healthy infants and children. A maximum increase in breath hydrogen less than 0.05 ml/min per m2 was observed in all subjects. A good correlation between results by t...

متن کاملFour-sample lactose hydrogen breath test for diagnosis of lactose malabsorption in irritable bowel syndrome patients with diarrhea.
AIM To validate 4-sample lactose hydrogen breath testing (4SLHBT) compared to standard 13-sample LHBT in the clinical setting. METHODS Irritable bowel syndrome patients with diarrhea (IBS-D) and healthy volunteers (HVs) were enrolled and received a 10 g, 20 g, or 40 g dose lactose hydrogen breath test (LHBT) in a randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial. The lactase gene promoter region w...
متن کاملSensitivity and specificity of the hydrogen breath-analysis test for detecting malabsorption of physiological doses of lactose.
We examined the changes in sensitivity and specificity that would occur with alterations in the sample-collection schedule and (or) cutoff criterion for the increase in hydrogen concentration in breath after administration of doses of lactose in the dietary range. In a breath-analysis test to classify individuals as lactose-absorbers or lactose-malabsorbers, 41 subjects drank 360 mL of intact c...
