Fecal Calprotectin Test

Fecal Calprotectin Test

Fecal Calprotectin is a substance released by your body when inflammations occur in your intestines. Higher fecal calprotectin levels ( protein biomarker) are usually associated with active inflammatory diseases such as Crohn's or ulcerative colitis. At the same time, lower levels indicate other issues that cause inflammation.

However, as time has changed and technology has developed, the Fecal Calprotectin Test is identified as a more common way to examine intestinal inflammation, as it is cheaper and easier to perform than an endoscopy( a complicated process).
