Reducing substances

ChemistryAlso known as: Reducing substances (only reported if detected)Also known as: Non-glucose reducing substancesN/A

This term represents the stool reducing substance assay after the addition of HCl, which hydrolysis sugars that are not typically reducing, such as sucrose, and converts them into a reducing form. Typical reducing substance assays [LOINC: 11060-1] detect reducing substances in stool without (or before) the addition of HCl, and therefore do not detect non-reducing sugars such as sucrose.
