    What is a Reducing Substances Test?

    The Reducing Substances test is a stool test used to detect the presence of reducing sugars in the faeces of infants, this indicates a condition known as 'intestinal hurry' or diarrhoea, which may arise from various underlying causes that prevent complete absorption in the intestines. The main substances likely to be detected in the stools of infants include glucose, fructose, galactose, and lactose.

    This test is often used as a preliminary diagnostic tool for identifying inborn disorders of metabolism and can avoid unnecessary laboratory investigations. If the test results are positive for reducing substances in the faeces, further analysis through sugar chromatography should be performed to determine the specific carbohydrates present and to provide a quantitative assessment.

    This test will help identify the cause of diarrhoea. Increased levels of these substances can differentiate between osmotic diarrhoea, which occurs due to abnormal sugar excretion, and diarrhoea caused by viruses or parasites.

    If you live in Bangalore you can easily access the Reducing Substances test from the comfort of your home.
