Fecal Fat, Quantitative

This test measures the amount of fat present in a stool sample to determine how well your body absorbs dietary fats. It helps show whether your digestive system is breaking down food properly, which is useful if you are experiencing symptoms like chronic diarrhea or weight loss. Doctors use these results to evaluate for malabsorption disorders, such as pancreatic insufficiency or celiac disease. However, finding excess fat in the stool does not diagnose the specific underlying condition without additional testing.
