Fecal Fat Test

The test is used to research the reasons for chronic diarrhea.

Considerations before fecal fat test;

A diet that includes 100 grams of fat should be followed for 3 days prior to the test. As the amount of fat intake directly affects the result, the diet should be strictly followed for the accuracy of results. Stool should be collected in a can/bucket for 24 hours following the diet and brought to the gastroenterology laboratory for the test.

Fecal fat test reports can be received from the gastroenterology laboratory after 2 working days.
