There are so many tests that can be used in the diagnostic evaluation. Depending on what your doctor suppects is the root cause. Stool test can be used to identify fat, bacteria,blood,and even paracites. Blood tests include a complete blood count to detect infection or anemia, serum B12 levels, albumin and so on. Urine test can detect the elimination of protien and glucose. For alot of detailed information go to http://www.merck.com/mrkshared/mmg/sec13/ch111/ch111a.jsp it is a great reference and has the detailed information I think you are looking for.

Good Luck
