The Lactoferrin Qualitative Stool Test measures lactoferrin in stool to assess intestinal inflammation. Positive results may signal inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, while negative results often suggest non-inflammatory conditions. This test supports evaluation of gastrointestinal health, immune activity, and disorders affecting digestive function.

The Lactoferrin Quantitative Stool Test evaluates stool for lactoferrin concentration to assess inflammation in the digestive tract. Increased levels are often linked to inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, while low or normal levels suggest non-inflammatory conditions. This test provides insight into immune activity, gastrointestinal health, and systemic balance.

The Clostridium difficile Toxin B Qualitative Test detects the presence of toxin B, a major virulence factor of C. difficile infection. This stool-based test helps identify active infection in patients with diarrhea, abdominal pain, or recent antibiotic use. Positive results support diagnosis of C. difficile–associated disease, which may cause colitis or severe gastrointestinal complications, aiding clinical evaluation and treatment decisions.

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae IgA Antibodies Test detects IgA antibodies against baker’s or brewer’s yeast, often elevated in Crohn’s disease. This test helps distinguish inflammatory bowel disease from ulcerative colitis and other gastrointestinal disorders. Doctors use results with clinical evaluation and other markers to aid diagnosis, monitor disease activity, and guide ongoing management of digestive and autoimmune health conditions.

The Fecal Globin by Immunochemistry Test detects hidden (occult) blood in stool using antibodies that identify human globin protein. This test helps screen for colorectal cancer, polyps, ulcers, and gastrointestinal bleeding. Doctors order it when patients have anemia, abdominal pain, or changes in bowel habits. Results provide early detection of digestive tract bleeding, guiding further evaluation with colonoscopy or other diagnostic procedures.
