C. Difficile Toxin A, B and GDH Stool Test
Comprehensive Clostridium Difficile Detection
The C. Difficile Toxin A, B and GDH Stool Test represents a cutting-edge diagnostic approach for detecting Clostridium difficile infections, a common healthcare-associated condition affecting millions of Americans annually. This comprehensive testing method provides healthcare providers with essential information to accurately diagnose and manage C. difficile infections, which can range from mild diarrhea to life-threatening colitis.
What This Test Measures and Detects
Our advanced immunochromatography-based test simultaneously evaluates three critical markers:
- Glutamate Dehydrogenase (GDH) Antigen: Detects the presence of C. difficile bacteria
- Toxin A: Identifies one of the primary toxins produced by virulent strains
- Toxin B: Detects the second major toxin responsible for tissue damage
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important for individuals experiencing:
- Persistent diarrhea lasting more than 3 days
- Recent antibiotic use within the past 8 weeks
- Abdominal pain, cramping, or tenderness
- Fever and loss of appetite
- Recent hospitalization or healthcare facility exposure
- Weakened immune system or chronic medical conditions
Key Benefits of Testing
- Rapid Diagnosis: Daily turnaround time enables prompt treatment decisions
- Comprehensive Detection: Triple-marker approach reduces false negatives
- No Special Preparation: Convenient testing with minimal patient burden
- Early Intervention: Supports timely antibiotic therapy when indicated
- Prevention of Complications: Helps avoid severe outcomes like toxic megacolon
Understanding Your Test Results
Your results will fall into one of several categories:
- Positive for Toxins A/B and GDH: Indicates active C. difficile infection requiring treatment
- Positive for GDH Only: Suggests C. difficile presence without toxin production
- Negative Results: No evidence of C. difficile infection detected
- Indeterminate Results: May require additional testing for confirmation
Always discuss your results with your healthcare provider for proper interpretation and treatment recommendations.
