Breath hydrogen measurement by our apparatus with a closed system was performed in 18 healthy subjects and a patient with malabsoption syndrome after administration of 5, 15, and 25g of D-xylose. By the same method, breath hydrogen excretion was determined after administration of 13g of lactulose and 50g of glucose, respectively. The more D-xylose was administered, the more breath hydrogen was excreted. In a group where a 25g of D-xylose was administered, the maximum amount of expired breath hydrogen was less than 0.28ml/min..In the D-xylose administered group including a patient with malabsorption syndrome, there was a good correlation between the max. Amount of breath hydrogen and a 5 hour urinary excreted D-xylose. Since a good correlation was observed in the group where a 25g of D-xylose was given, a 25g of D-xylose may be considered as the optimal dose for the breath hydrogen test.In summary, the breath hydrogen measurement by administering 25g of D-xylose might be said a useful clinical tool in the diagnosis of malabsorption syndrome.
