Estimation of faecal fat excretion using cuprous thiocyanate as a continuous marker.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method for the estimation of faecal fat excretion using cuprous thiocyanate as a continuous marker is described. Results obtained from a single stool sample are in close agreement with those from a three-day collection using this technique. The method is simpler and more accurate than collections done without a marker.

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...
متن کاملRadio-opaque pellets as faecal markers for faecal fat estimation in malabsorption.
Thirty-seven patients undergoing routine investigation for malabsorption were given radio-opaque pellets (ROP) which were compared with polyethylene glycol and chromic oxide as continuous faecal markers. Percentage recovery of all markers showed a wide range. The recovery of all markers was very similar, and radio-opaque pellet-corrected daily faecal fat correlated very closely with PEG-and chr...
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 کاملMarkers for faecal fat estimation in monitoring steatorrhoea in cystic fibrosis.
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4000 is one of numerous substances used as non-absorbable markers to correct for variable faecal output when assessing daily faecal losses of nutrients. The introduction of enteric coated micro-encapsulated pancreatic enzyme (EMPE) preparations has greatly improved the control of fat malabsorption in cystic fibrosis and chronic pancreatitis patients. Unfortunately, the...
متن کاملPassage through the rumen and the large intestine of sheep estimated from faecal marker excretion curves and slaughter trials.
External digesta markers (Yb-labelled diets and Co-EDTA) were given orally as a pulse dose to four pairs of Rasa Aragonesa twin ewe lambs, fed on either chopped or ground and pelleted lucerne hay, in order to estimate slow (k1) and fast (k2) rates of passage of liquid and solid phase from faecal marker excretion curves. After the faecal sampling period daily doses of the same markers were infus...
