Stool Water Content

Molecular classification
Physiological Parameter, Biochemical Marker
01

Overview

Stool water content refers to the proportion of water present in fecal matter, typically around 75% in healthy adults. It is a critical parameter for assessing gastrointestinal health, influencing stool consistency and ease of passage, and indicating underlying digestive or absorptive disorders. Abnormalities in stool hydration can signal various conditions such as gastrointestinal infections, malabsorption syndromes, inflammatory bowel diseases, or effects from medications or dietary changes.
