Fecal pH (fecal pH)

A stool test, a stool pH test, can help diagnose digestive diseases. Abnormal results: alkaline after eating more meat, acidic when eating more sugar and fat. It is strongly acidic during abnormal fermentation and strongly alkaline when it is highly corrosive. Pathological manifestations: such as bacterial dysentery, stool is alkaline, pH about 8.0. Basic Information Specialist classification: Digestive examination classification: feces / parasitic examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Acidic below normal, suggesting the presence of diseases such as amoebic dysentery. Normal value: Fecal pH: 6.9-7.2 Above normal: Alkaline is higher than normal, suggesting that there may be diseases such as bacterial dysentery and schistosomiasis. negative: Positive: Tips: Don't eat a lot of meat. Normal value Neutral, weakly acidic or weakly alkaline, pH 6.9 to 7.2 is normal. Clinical significance Abnormal results: 1. It is alkaline after eating more meat, and it is acidic when eating more sugar and fat. 2. It is strongly acidic during abnormal fermentation and strongly alkaline when it is highly corrosive. Pathological manifestations: 1. If the bacterial dysentery is alkaline, the pH is about 8.0. 2, amoebic dysentery stool is acidic, pH about 6.1 ~ 6.6. 3, schistosomiasis feces are alkaline. Need to check the crowd: Abdominal pain, diarrhea, suspected bacterial infection. Low results may be diseases: children with prolonged and chronic diarrhea results may be high disease: bacterial dysentery matters needing attention Requirements for inspection: 1. Don't eat a lot of meat. 2. To avoid interference with the test results, do not use cotton swabs to dig. 3. Do not collect too much feces to avoid having enough specimens for inspection. Preparation before inspection: According to your daily eating habits, don't eat a lot of meat, so as not to affect the results. Inspection process After the feces were dissolved, the supernatant suspension was taken and measured with a pH test paper. The pH is then checked against the color chart. Not suitable for the crowd This test is a non-invasive test, so it is not suitable for the population. Adverse reactions and risks This test is a non-invasive test and the test itself does not present complications and hazards.
