Overview

The Stool for Reducing Substance test is used to detect the presence of reducing sugars (such as lactose, glucose, fructose, and galactose) in the stool. It helps diagnose carbohydrate malabsorption disorders, including lactose intolerance and congenital enzyme deficiencies.

Risk assessment

The Stool for Reducing Substance test is non-invasive and poses minimal risks. Accurate sample collection and handling are essential to avoid contamination and ensure reliable results.

Ranges

Normal stool should not contain significant amounts of reducing substances. Generally, a result of less than 0.25% is considered normal. Higher values suggest malabsorption.

Test result interpretation

Negative or low reducing substances: Indicates normal digestion and absorption of carbohydrates. Positive or high reducing substances: Indicates carbohydrate malabsorption, which may be due to lactose intolerance, other disaccharidase deficiencies, or other malabsorption syndromes.

Sample types

A fresh stool sample is required for the Stool for Reducing Substance test. The sample should be collected in a clean, dry container without contamination from urine or water.
