Acid steatocrit determination is not helpful in cystic fibrosis patients without or with mild steatorrhea

Most methods used for the assessment of severe steatorrhea in cystic fibrosis (CF) are sensitive. In fact, the tests show their usefulness in a borderline zone of the results. Yet, the existing data related to acid steatocrit (AS) are still contradictory. Therefore, in the present study we have aimed to assess CF patients without or with mild steatorhea (<10 g/day) and evaluate the applicability of AS in such a subset of patients.
