Malabsorption & intolerance
Lactose Intolerance
A rapid test for hypolactasia, read directly from a duodenal biopsy.
Clinical use
Answers the lactose question off a biopsy — no breath test, no diet challenge, no second appointment.
Highlights
- Read from a duodenal biopsy — no separate patient visit, no breath test
- Graded against the colour chart as normolactasia, mild hypolactasia or hypolactasia after a 15-minute lactase reaction at room temperature — a negative excludes hypolactasia
