The influence of diet on the quality of faecal fat in patients with and without steatorrhoea.

By the use of gas-liquid chromatography it has been shown that the quality of the faecal fat in individuals without steatorrhoea is little affected by changes in the quality of the dietary fat. Large amounts of non-dietary fatty acids have been identified in the faeces both of patients with and without steatorrhoea. These have been identified as a number of isomers of oleic acid and hydroxystearic acids, particularly 10-hydroxystearic acid.

The Nile blue test in the detection of steatorrhoea.

The Nile blue test for the detection of steatorrhoea has been compared with the estimation of 24-hour faecal excretion by the method of Weijers and Van der Kamer modified by Anderson, Frazer, French, Gerrard, Simmons, and Smellie (1952). The Nile blue test is easily and quickly carried out. A positive result was only found in cases showing a considerable degree of steatorrhoea but it was often negative when the excretion of fat was abnormally high. This test appears to be of considerable use as a rapid, semiquantitative screening test in the investigation of possible cases of steatorrhoea.
