CHEMICAL STUDIES ON INTESTINAL INFANTILISM : I. ENDOGENOUS METABOLISM: KREATININ, KREATIN, URIC ACID.
In my three cases of intestinal infantilism, the kreatinin excretion was more irregular than normally, and the kreatinin coefficient was low. Kreatin was found in the urine on a kreatin-free diet. The sum of kreatinin and kreatin was also irregular. The endogenous uric acid was irregular from day to day. The kreatin excretion is apparently lower on a high fat diet than on a high carbohydrate diet.
