The Calprotectin Fecal Test is a non-invasive diagnostic tool used to assess inflammation in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. By measuring the level of calprotectin, a protein found in white blood cells, in stool samples, this test helps differentiate between inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, and non-inflammatory conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It is beneficial for patients experiencing symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, or rectal bleeding. This test can also monitor the effectiveness of treatment for IBD, reducing the need for invasive procedures like colonoscopy.

Inflammatory bowel diseases, if left undiagnosed, can lead to complications such as bowel obstruction, fistulas, and increased risk of colon cancer. The Calprotectin Fecal Test helps identify inflammation early, enabling timely intervention to manage and monitor IBD effectively. This test ensures accurate differentiation, avoiding unnecessary treatments or procedures for patients with symptoms mimicking IBS. Regular monitoring with this test helps healthcare providers assess disease progression or remission in diagnosed cases of IBD.
