Determination of chymotrypsin in stool by a new photometric method.
A photometric method to determine chymotrypsin in stool, equivalent to the titrimetric analysis, was developed. The chymotrypsin concentrations found in healthy children and those with gastrointestinal and pancreatic disease permit the same clinical conclusions as the titrimetrically determined results. In view of its lower technical requirements, this method is suitable for the identification of maldigestion in pediatric and general practice.
