Digestive Stool Analysis and Comprehensive Parasitology Profiling

Gastrointestinal complaints are among the most common reasons that patients seek medical care. Common symptoms can include persistent diarrhea, constipation, bloating, indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome and malabsorption. The Comprehensive Stool Analysis & Parasitology can help to pinpoint the cause of gastrointestinal symptoms and chronic systemic conditions, and measures key markers of digestion, absorption and inflammation. Using growth-based culture, the standard of practice in clinical microbiology, as well as sensitive biochemical assays and microscopy, this thorough profile evaluates the status of beneficial and pathogenic microorganisms including aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, yeast and parasites. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing to prescriptive and natural agents is also performed for appropriate bacterial and fungal species. Parasitology testing is a three-day collection. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing to prescriptive and natural agents is also performed for appropriate bacterial and fungal species.

If you have been suffering from chronic digestive issues, as mentioned above, this may be a worthwhile test for you to consider.
