    Abstract:
    In 92 children aged 3 to 24 months with suspected malabsorption syndrome the nutritional status was assessed, the results of routine diagnostic laboratory tests were analysed, and the correlation was sought between these parameters and the degree of atrophy of intestinal villi. A correlation was demonstrated between body weight deficit and the pathological result of the d-xylose test and the degree of villous atrophy only in the group of infants, and in children in the second year of life the changes of these parameters were not useful in the diagnosis of the malabsorption syndrome. The assessment of the shape of iron and glucose absorption curve shows a low usefulness nof these tests, and they should not be used in the diagnosis of the syndrome.
