Title: Intestinal disaccharidases assessed in congenital asucrasia by differential urinary disaccharide excretion. Author: Maxton DG, Catt SD, Menzies IS. Journal: Dig Dis Sci; 1989 Jan; 34(1):129-31. PubMed ID: 2910670. Abstract: A patient with congenital asucrasia was investigated using in vivo differential urinary disaccharide excretion. Impaired hydrolysis of sucrose and isomaltose, but normal lactase activity, were demonstrated and confirmed by in vitro estimation. The technique of differential disaccharide excretion can now be used to assess three disaccharidases simultaneously, in vivo, including isomaltase.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
