Standardising the lactulose mannitol test of gut permeability to minimise error and promote comparability.

Standardising the lactulose mannitol test of gut permeability to minimise error and promote comparability.

BACKGROUND: Lactulose mannitol ratio tests are clinically useful for assessing disorders characterised by changes in gut permeability and for assessing mixing in the intestinal lumen. Variations between currently used test protocols preclude meaningful comparisons between studies. We determined the...
