This test looks for white blood cells in a sample of your stool (poop). White blood cells are also called leukocytes, so this test is sometimes called a leukocytes in stool test.
Check orderable catalog codes, specimen types, fasting requirements, and demographic reference ranges across laboratories.
Laboratory assay overview
The presence of leukocytes is an indicator of inflammation. Generally, inflammation is a product of bacteria-host interaction.

We compile every detail above directly from named laboratory directories and published clinical studies. Laboratories calculate standard reference intervals from the statistical distribution of tested populations for a specific assay method and demographic group, rather than setting universal optimal targets.
Always review your personal lab results with a licensed clinician, or track your lab history and health goals in Aumnivida.
