Fecal Fat and Muscle Fibers, Qualitative 049684
3 analytes · Stool · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 4 - 7 days
Labcorp catalog pageMethod and collection
- Method
- Microscopic examination following staining with Oil Red O. Only fibers with identifiable cross striations are counted.
- Preparation
- Patient is required to eat adequate amounts of red meat for 24 to 72 hours before testing. Specimens obtained with a warm saline enema or Fleet® Phospho-Soda® are acceptable. Specimens obtained with mineral oil, bismuth, or magnesium compounds are unsatisfactory. Barium procedures or laxatives should be avoided for one week prior to collection of the specimen.
- Collection

- Reference notes
- • Total fats (neutral fats, soaps, and fatty acids): Normal (<100 droplets/hpf) • Neutral fats: Normal (<60 droplets/hpf) • Muscle fibers: Normal (<10 fibers/hpf)

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
