Assessment 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...

Fat agglutination slide test for increased concentrations of C-reactive protein in serum compared with results by laser nephelometry.

Hyperoxaluria correlates with fat malabsorption in patients with sprue.

The effect of fat malabsorption on the absorption and renal excretion of dietary oxalate was studied in four patients with sprue and in two patients with dermatitis herpetiformis and sprue-like jejunal histology. Hyperoxaluria was present in all patients with sprue when fat malabsorption was severe. Urinary oxalate excretion decreased in two of the three patients with coeliac sprue when their f...

Fat malabsorption in elderly patients with cardiac cachexia.

Malnutrition resulting from chronic congestive heart failure (cardiac cachexia, CC) is not uncommon and contributes to mortality and morbidity especially of elderly people. The aetiology of cardiac cachexia is probably multifactorial. We have assessed whether malabsorption of fat is associated with CC and if so whether it is due to small-bowel bacterial overgrowth. Three groups of subjects were...
