Basic and Comprehensive Stool Tests
The most significant differences between the basic and comprehensive tests are that the comprehensive test provides inflammation markers which can indicate inflammatory bowel disease. It also gives metabolic markers which show if there is bacterial interference with detoxification. Metabolic markers help in assessing the risk of hormone related cancers, of the bowel, prostate and breast.
