Neutral Fat

Neutral fat in microscopic stool sediment represents fats that have not been broken down and absorbed by the body.

• Presence of neutral fat in stool indicates impaired digestion and absorption of fats in the intestine.
• Normally, the amount of neutral fat in stool is minimal or absent.
• Elevated levels of neutral fat occur in pancreatic diseases (pancreatitis), liver pathologies, bile secretion disorders, and small intestine diseases.
• Detection of neutral fat helps identify malabsorption and lipid metabolism disturbances, which is important for diagnosing fat metabolism and gastrointestinal diseases.

Regular monitoring of neutral fat content in stool allows assessment of therapy effectiveness and restoration of normal digestion.
