Step 1 of 2
Osmotic diarrhea:
It is a type of diarrhea causes the water retention and the electrolyte in large intestine leading to watery stool.
• It occurs when poor absorption exists.
• The poor absorption causes osmotic pressure in intestinal mucosa.
• The following laboratory tests are done to find the osmotic diarrhea:
o Microscopic fecal fats
o Muscle fiber detection
o Qualitative fecal fats
o Trypsin screening
o Clinitest
o D-xylose tolerance test
o Lactose tolerance test
o Fecal electrolytes
o Stool pH
o Fecal osmolality
Therefore, “fecal neutrophils” are a type of white blood cell and it is not a test. Hence, the correct option is option
.
