Fatty acid and triglyceride panel - 24 hour Stool

Fatty acid + triglyceride Pnl 24h Stl

Definition

Determination of fatty acids and triglycerides in stool is performed for the diagnosis and monitoring of steatorrhoea. Fat malabsorption occurs in conditions such as celiac disease, chronic pancreatitis, Crohn's disease, and cystic fibrosis. Stool fat is a general concept that includes several components, including triglycerides and fatty acids. Triglycerides levels may be measured separately to determine if the steatorrhoea is caused by pancreatic malabsorption (higher triglycerides to fatty acid ratio) versus intestinal malabsorption (low triglycerides to fatty acid ratio).[PMID: 7774758] The submitter's lab performs an infrared spectroscopy technique to quantitatively measure extracted fatty acids from fecal samples.[PMID: 10817249]
