Microscopical Nutritive Digestion

LABOKLIN Service ID: 153

This is a semi-quantitative detection of undigested food components, which depends on the type and composition of the diet. Increased excretion of starch, neutral fats, fatty acids and muscle fibres can therefore only indicate a reduced digestive and absorptive capacity (maldigestion or malabsorption).
