Urinary fructose excretion in health after fructose test.
Urinary excretion of fructose during three hours following the ingestion of 100 g of hydrolysed sucrose (in 200 ml) was studied in 85 normal men. This solution was better tolerated than a solution of 50 g of pure fructose and gave higher urinary excretion of fructose than with 100 g of unhydrolysed sucrose. The mean fructose excretion was 54.0 mg (S.D. 40.6 MG). The majority of subjects (63) excreted between 1 and 75 mg and the highest value was 187mg. This suggests a relatively inexpensive method for assessing the existence of porta-systemic shunts beyond normal.
