You’re Guide to the Stool Reducing Substances Lab Test
Your doctor may order a stool-reducing substances test if you’re experiencing any of the following: abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, or weight loss. These symptoms could indicate ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, diverticulitis, or colon cancer.
A stool-reducing substances lab test will give your doctor information about your gastrointestinal tract and its ability to absorb nutrients from your food. Let’s learn more about this stool-reducing substances lab test and how it can help you determine the cause of your digestive problems!
What is the stool reducing substances test?
Chughtai lab offers a blood test for people interested in how well their food is being digested. You get it done by asking your doctor for a fecal occult blood test or FOBT. The stool reducing substances lab test reveals how much stool and fat you eliminate each day.
When will I get the results?
It takes between 1 and 3 days for the Essa laboratory reports in Karachi. To avoid confusion, contact them immediately after receiving your results.
What does a normal result mean?
A normal result indicates no abnormal quantities of stool-reducing substances in your blood. Essentially, if you have a low concentration of stool-reducing substances, you should regularly have a healthy bowel movement.
However, it is not advisable to use excessively high concentrations to indicate a healthy bowel movement either. You should see your doctor about having a fecal test done at Excel Lab if you don’t have any major symptoms like constipation or diarrhea.
What do abnormal results mean?
If your Excel test reports abnormal results, you may have a problem with one or more of these substances in your system. Some specific results may point directly to a substance, while others are more general and don’t indicate exactly what you might be dealing with.
There are also other ways to get more information about your test result, including lab services offered by Excel, which provide additional tests that narrow down things even further. The staff at Excel would be happy to discuss them with you!
