CP007 - STOOL FOR REDUCING SUBSTANCES Detail

STOOL FOR REDUCING SUBSTANCES is a screening test used to detect unabsorbed sugars in the stool, which helps in identifying carbohydrate malabsorption. It is commonly advised in infants and children with chronic diarrhea, bloating, or failure to thrive, and may indicate conditions such as lactose intolerance, fructose malabsorption, or other enzyme deficiencies. A fresh stool sample is required, and the result helps guide dietary management and further evaluation.
