“…[90][91][92][93][94][95] Other methods for estimation of faecal fat in stool are semiquantitative and give a moderate correlation with quantitative methods. The stool steatocrit involves separating a faecal homogenate by centrifugation into a lipid, water, and solid phase.…”

Genomics was initiated when robotics made possible the characterisation of large numbers of DNA fragments and when ever improving computers with dedicated software were applied to the localisation in the genome of these sequences and to the analysis of their content. By enabling the generation and management of large amounts of DNA based sequences these tools have changed our perception of the genomes of living organisms. These data, as applied to humans, are contributing to the understanding of gene function, disease processes, and evolution of our species. Presently they are changing the research strategies for identifying genetic variations influencing disease susceptibility and response to treatment. These advances will have a profound impact in biomedicine.

“…Because fecal fat balance studies are cumbersome, expensive and unpleasant for all involved, simple tests are often preferred (microscopy with Sudan staining, fecal fat concentration, steatocrit, acid steatocrit) (27,28,30,88). Among these, acid steatocrit seems to be the most reliable (30).…”

Diagnosing small bowel malabsorption: a review

2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Malabsorption encompasses dysfunctions occurring during the digestion and absorption of nutrients. A small proportion of patients presents with chronic diarrhoea. A clinical history supportive of malabsorption may guide investigations toward either the small bowel or pancreas. Serological testing for coeliac disease will determine most cases without invasive investigations. In the clinical context of persisting weight loss and malnutrition, small bowel enteropathy may be investigated with small intestinal biopsies. Small bowel absorptive capacity and permeability might be measured by oral sugar-mix ingestion. Further, approaches to the investigation of malabsorption might also involve the detection in faeces of a substance that has not been absorbed. A variation of the latter is the use of breath testing which relies on the breakdown of the malabsorbed test substance by colonic flora. Measurement of protein absorption is difficult and unreliable; it is, therefore, rarely advocated in clinical settings. No single biological marker confirming a diagnosis of small bowel malabsorption or small bowel integrity is presently available in clinical practice. Plasma citrulline concentration, an amino acid not incorporated into endogenous or exogenous proteins, has been extensively used in research studies and supportive results are establishing its concentration as a reliable quantitative biomarker of enterocyte absorptive capacity.
