Important Note

*This test is orderable in Cerner as Lactoferrin

RRMC Lab has implemented a rapid molecular test for the identification of common community-acquired pathogenic enteric bacteria, viruses and toxins directly from a stool sample.

The Lactoferrin test for the presence of WBC will be available if required. The Stool Lactoferrin Test detects a glycoprotein component of neutrophilic granules in leukocytes. Testing for fecal Lactoferrin is much more sensitive than examination for fecal leukocytes because it does not require intact cells for detection. This test will have to be ordered separately when desired.
