Lincoln Reference Laboratory lab offers a testing menu built on the latest and most accurate GI diagnostics. Our test screenings allow us to detect early stages of diseases like inflammatory bowel disease, peptic ulcer disease, digestive disorders, liver disease, and hepatitis.
In the multiplex molecular testing procedures we use, we can test common GI pathogens at the same time without compromising the precision and sensitivity of the results.
When should the testing be ordered?
- Persistent or chronic diarrhea
- Bloody diarrhea
- Diarrhea in association with systemic illness
- Immunocompromised status
- Returned traveler
- Hospitalized patient
- Outbreak identification
In healthcare settings and specific populations (newborns/infants, elderly or immunocompromised patients), we encourage rapid diagnosis for immediate treatment response and infection control, as these diseases can be especially dangerous to them.
Benefits of Lincoln Reference Lab’s Gastrointestinal PCR Testing
- Excellence in the detection of the most common enteric pathogens
- Fewer tests at affordable rates, accurate results, and a faster diagnosis of gastrointestinal infections
- No required transport media for each specimen submission, enabling add-on stool testing
- Use of one multi-pathogen panel instead of multiple tests in determining coinfections
