Overview
RNA Extraction from Stool is a non-invasive molecular diagnostic test that detects the presence of RNA in a stool sample. This test is used to identify various gastrointestinal infections, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), colorectal cancer, viral hepatitis, and Helicobacter pylori infection. By analyzing RNA, the test can provide early and accurate detection of pathogens or abnormal gene expression, aiding in timely diagnosis and treatment. DNA Labs India offers this test at an affordable cost of INR 3000, with free home sample collection across multiple cities in India. The test is performed using advanced RT-PCR technology, ensuring high sensitivity and specificity. Early detection through this test can significantly improve patient outcomes by enabling prompt medical intervention. This test is particularly useful for patients with persistent gastrointestinal symptoms, as it offers a painless alternative to invasive procedures like colonoscopy. With a turnaround time of one week, it facilitates rapid clinical decision-making and helps in monitoring treatment response. The test is conducted in NABL-accredited laboratories with strict quality controls, ensuring reliable results. By detecting molecular markers, it can also aid in the early detection of colorectal cancer, potentially saving lives through timely intervention.
