What does this test measure?

Stool Routine is a diagnostic laboratory test carried out on a stool sample. Your doctor may advise it to screen for, diagnose or monitor a related condition, with results reported against standard reference ranges.

Understanding your Stool Routine results

How to read your result

Your report should be read using the reference interval, unit and method shown by the performing laboratory. A result outside a reference interval does not automatically establish a diagnosis, and a result inside the interval does not rule out every health problem. Clinical interpretation depends on symptoms, history and other findings.

If a result is outside the range

If the Stool Routine is reported as high, low, positive, negative or otherwise outside the laboratory's stated interval, the meaning depends on the specific test and the reason it was ordered. Your clinician may consider repeat testing, related investigations or other clinical information before deciding what the result means.

Limitations of this test

The Stool Routine provides information about the specific marker or finding it measures; it is not a complete assessment of overall health. Results can be affected by factors such as preparation, medicines, biological variation, sample handling and the testing method.

An abnormal result does not by itself mean you have a particular disease. Your doctor interprets results together with your symptoms, history and other tests.

How should I prepare for the Stool Routine?

  • No fasting is needed - you can eat and drink normally.
  • Collect a fresh stool sample in the container provided and hand it in within an hour.
  • Collect the stool in the sterile container provided, avoiding contact with urine or water.
  • Tell the collection team about any medicines and supplements you take.
  • Do not stop prescribed medicines unless your doctor tells you to.
