What this test measures
3This section shows the biological marker/agent measured by this diagnostic test. Each marker/agent opens its own page with related conditions. Detailed reference ranges are shown separately in the Reference ranges and concentrations section below, so they are not repeated here.
Reference ranges and concentrations
7These ranges are pulled from the existing EH diagnostic-test reference range tables. They can vary by laboratory, method, age, sex, sample type and clinical situation.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| D Xylose (Blood Concentration, 1 Hour Post Administration) | 20 – 100 | mg/dL | Child (0 - 16y) | Both | Absorption Test / Absorption Test |
| D Xylose (Blood Concentration, 1 Hour Post Administration) | 20 – 60 | mg/dL | Adult ( > 16y) | Both | Absorption Test / Absorption Test |
| D Xylose (Blood Concentration, 2 Hours Post Administratio) | 20 – 60 | mg/dL | Child (0 - 16y) | Both | Absorption Test / Absorption Test |
| D Xylose (Blood Concentration, 2 Hours Post Administratio) | 30 – 60 | mg/dL | Adult ( > 16y) | Both | Absorption Test / Absorption Test |
| D Xylose (Urine, Percentage of Total Administered, After 5 Hours) | 16 – 32 | % | Child (0 - 16y) | Both | Absorption Test / Urinalysis |
| D Xylose (Urine, Percentage of Total Administered, After 5 Hours) | 16 – 50 | % | Adult ( > 16y) | Both | Absorption Test / Urinalysis |
| D Xylose (Urine, Percentage of Total Administered, After 5 Hours) | 14 – 50 | % | Adult (> 65y) | Both | Absorption Test / Urinalysis |
