Summary
-
(1)
Triolein I131 absorption is as good an index of absorption as the other tests (such as the Vitamin A Absorption and fat balance test) in routine use. Serum estimation gives the most satisfactory and most convenient results.
-
(2)
Contrast between triolein I131 and oleic acid I131 absorption is helpful in differentiating pancreatic absorption from other types due to disease of the intestinal wall.
-
(3)
There is good correlation between Vitamin A and triolein I131 absorption.
