Abstract：
:Urinary excretion of orally administered lactulose is used as an index of intestinal permeability. We have developed a simple thin-layer chromatographic technique for measuring lactulose in urine, using silica gel 60 plates and a propanol-borate solvent system. Lactulose concentrations as low as 62.5 mg/L can be detected with high reproducibility and without interference by urinary chromogens. After oral administration, the urinary excretion of lactulose in 8 h equaled 2.33 (SD 1.86)% in 15 patients with cystic fibrosis, as compared with 0.13 (SD 0.12)% in 16 healthy subjects (P less than 0.001).
