A high percentage of hospitalized patients are malnourished. By means of biochemical examinations (visceral proteins), anthropometric measurements (body mass, triceps skinfold, arm muscle circumference, creatinine index) and immunological methods (total lymphocyte count in the blood, skin testing with test antigens) it is possible to classify nutritional conditions in severity and kind of malnutrition. 158 patients with chronic inflammatory diseases of the GI-tract and cancer without generalization were studied by means of an exact nutritional assessment and by means of the modified D-xylose test. There was no significant correlation between the degree of malnutrition and the extent of intestinal absorption. Only in 5.7 per cent of malnourished patients existed a malabsorption.
很大比例的住院患者存在营养不良。通过生化检查（内脏蛋白）、人体测量（体重、三头肌皮褶厚度、上臂肌肉周长、肌酐指数）和免疫方法（血液中的总淋巴细胞计数、用试验抗原进行皮肤试验），可以对营养状况按营养不良的严重程度和类型进行分类。通过精确的营养评估和改良的D-木糖试验，对158例无全身转移的胃肠道慢性炎症性疾病和癌症患者进行了研究。营养不良程度与肠道吸收程度之间无显著相关性。仅5.7%的营养不良患者存在吸收不良。
