Neutral Fat.
Neutral fat in microscopic stool sediment analysis represents fats that have not been broken down and absorbed by the body.
- The 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.
- Increased levels of neutral fat occur in diseases of the pancreas (pancreatitis), liver pathologies, bile secretion disorders, and diseases of the small intestine.
- Detection of neutral fat helps identify malabsorption and lipid metabolism disorders, which is important for diagnosing fat metabolism and gastrointestinal diseases.
Regular monitoring of neutral fat content in stool helps assess the effectiveness of therapy and restoration of normal digestion.
