Gallbladder volume in patients with common hepatic duct dilatation. An evaluation of Courvoisier's sign using ultrasonography.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Lactose maldigestion is usually diagnosed by means of the H2 breath test. When 13C-lactose is used as substrate, a 13CO2 breath test can be performed simultaneously. In an earlier publication we described the relation between both the H2 and 13CO2 exhalation in breath and the measured intestinal lactase acti...
