The Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis (CDSA)™ offers a comprehensive look at the overall health of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The CDSA™ is Genova’s historic evaluation of gastrointestinal function assessing a select set of stool biomarkers.
This stool analysis evaluates:
- Digestion/Absorption Markers
- Gut Metabolic Markers
- Gut Microbiology Markers
This diagnostic stool analysis provides immediate, actionable clinical information for the estimated 50% of patients seen by primary care practitioners who have gastrointestinal complaints. For greater insight into the clinical utility of the CDSA™, please read the Clinical Overview below.
- Digestion/Absorption:
- Chymotrypsin
- Putrefactive Short–Chain Fatty Acids
- Meat and Vegetable Fibers
- Fecal Fats
- Gut Metabolic Markers
- Beneficial Short–Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) with n–Butyrate
- n–Butyrate
- Beta-Glucuronidase
- pH
- SCFA distribution
- Fecal Lactoferrin
- Macroscopic (color, mucus)
- Occult Blood
- Gut Microbiology Markers
- Beneficial Bacteria
- Additional Bacteria
- Mycology
