Will diarrhea prior to Micronutrient test specimen collection interfere with test results?

No. Diarrhea will not interfere with test results. However, diarrhea may contribute to increased stool frequency and increased micronutrient losses. This scenario makes the Micronutrient test very clinically useful to assess micronutrient status in individuals with acute or chronic diarrhea.
