[Quantitative and qualitative determination of lactic acid in fecal filtrate in children].

The authors describe qualitative and quantitative methods for lactic acid assessment in children's feces. A total of 102 children with mainly lactose intolerance were examined. Benedict's test with feces filtrate, lactose tolerance test, and measurements of fecal carbohydrates were used in the diagnostic investigations. Mean lactic acid levels made up (mean +/- m) 33.3 +/- 3.6 mmol/l (6.3 +/- 1.0 in healthy infants on breast feeding and 6.0 +/- 1.3 mmol/l in those on mixed and formula feeding). Fecal carbohydrate levels were normal (below 5 g/l) in 12 infants, but lactic acid levels made up 67.8 +/- 6.1 mmol/l. Qualitative reaction to lactic acid in feces, starting from 44.4 mmol/l, was detected in 27% of infants. Differences in the values of healthy children and those with lactic carbohydrate intolerance were found significant (p < 0.001).

[Modified test with oral lactose loading for detecting lactose intolerance in young children].

Twenty-four children with persistent diarrhea or intestinal dysfunction were examined; lactose, glucose with galactose and lactic acid levels in their feces were not a convincing evidence of lactose intolerance. Detection in the feces of elevated levels of 2 or more parameters after oral lactose load (2 g/kg, not more than 15 g), as well as an increment of a previously elevated value or its manifestation evidenced lactose intolerance. No increase of carbohydrate levels or lactic acid in the feces were observed in the group of 21 age-matched controls.

[Urinary lactose determination].

The authors suggests a modified method for nonchromatographic measurement of urinary lactose. The minimal detectable lactose volume is 0.5 g/l. Eighty-four children, mostly babies, with lactose intolerance were examined, breast-fed or formula-fed with lactose-containing mixtures. Lactosuria was detected in 27.4% of the examinees. Urinary lactose levels were (mean +/- m) 0.69 +/- 0.02 g/l. No lactosuria was detected by this method in 29 babies without lactose tolerance (control group).
