-10%

The C. Difficile Toxin A and B and GDH Stool Test is a comprehensive diagnostic examination aimed at detecting the presence of Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) toxins and the glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) antigen in stool samples. C. difficile is a bacterium that can cause symptoms ranging from mild diarrhea to more severe conditions like pseudomembranous colitis. It is particularly notorious for infections in hospital settings or after antibiotic use.

The test specifically looks for Toxin A and Toxin B, which are virulence factors produced by some strains of C. difficile that cause the disease symptoms. Additionally, the test detects the GDH antigen, an enzyme produced by all strains of C. difficile, which serves as a screening marker for the presence of the bacteria.

Conducted at DNA Labs UAE, a leading laboratory known for its state-of-the-art facilities and accurate diagnostic services, this test provides a critical tool in the diagnosis and management of C. difficile infections. The cost of the test is 610 AED, offering a reliable option for patients and healthcare providers to identify infections promptly and to implement appropriate treatment strategies to mitigate the spread of this bacterium and manage its health impacts effectively.

Test Details

The C. difficile toxin A & B and GDH stool test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of Clostridium difficile bacteria in the stool. Clostridium difficile is a type of bacteria that can cause severe diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms.

The test involves collecting a stool sample from the patient and analyzing it for the presence of two toxins produced by the C. difficile bacteria, known as toxin A and toxin B. These toxins are responsible for the symptoms associated with C. difficile infection.

In addition to testing for the toxins, the test also detects the presence of an enzyme called glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) in the stool. GDH is produced by C. difficile bacteria and its presence indicates the possible presence of the bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract.

The C. difficile toxin A & B and GDH stool test is typically performed in patients with symptoms of diarrhea, especially those who have recently been on antibiotics or have been hospitalized. It helps to confirm the presence of C. difficile infection and guide appropriate treatment.

The test is usually performed using an enzyme immunoassay or molecular testing method. Results are typically available within a few hours to a few days, depending on the laboratory.

It is important to note that a positive result for the C. difficile toxins and GDH does not necessarily mean that the patient has an active C. difficile infection. Further testing, such as a stool culture or PCR test, may be needed to confirm the diagnosis.

Overall, the C. difficile toxin A & B and GDH stool test is a valuable tool in the diagnosis of C. difficile infection and helps guide appropriate treatment for affected patients.
