Stool Reducing Sugars and Stool pH Are Poor Screening Tests for Intestinal Disaccharidase Deficiencies in Children
Tests for stool reducing sugars and stool pH are ordered for children with osmotic diarrhea to screen for carbohydrate malabsorption. We compared the results of the two screening tests, stool reducing sugars and stool pH, with a more definitive result from an intestinal tissue disaccharidase activit...
