Background: Small intestinal function may be altered in decompensated chronic heart failure (CHF) and translocating LPS may contribute to systemic inflammation observed in CHF.Methods: We measured intestinal permeability (melibiose and rhamnose), active (3-O-methyl-D-glucose (3-OMG)) and passive (D-xylose) carrier-mediated absorption in 20 CHF patients (12 edematous and 8 non-edematous) and 8 controls by saccharide absorption technique assessing urinary recovery of orally administered sugars. We additionally measured LPS concentrations in 42 patients with decompensated heart failure and after recompensation.Results: CHF patients had a 54% reduction of active carrier-mediated intestinal transport compared to controls (p
