The fat meal test of malabsorption: some further experience.
A fat meal test was evaluated in 21 healthy controls, 14 pathological controls and 11 malabsorption patients. The amount of fat used was 1 g per kg body wt, and the time for the post-cibal blood sampling was 2 h after the start of the meal. Combining serum triglyceride determination and serum turbidity measurement, the malabsorption group was fully discriminated from the control groups.
