Digestive Lab Tests Center

Digestive laboratory tests involve diagnostic procedures performed on a sample of body tissue or fluid. Blood tests include electrolyte panels and enzyme tests. Fecal tests are performed on stool samples. Other diagnostic tools include breath tests and biopsy (examination of body tissue). A rapid urease test is conducted on biopsied tissue to identify bacterial infections.
