STOOL CALPROTECTIN

Stool calprotectin stands as a crucial marker in assessing inflammation within the gastrointestinal tract, specifically in the intestines. This protein, derived from white blood cells, indicates heightened inflammation when present in stool samples. Elevated calprotectin levels often signal various inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Analyzing stool samples for calprotectin levels is pivotal for diagnosing and continuously monitoring these conditions. Furthermore, it serves as an invaluable tool in evaluating the effectiveness of treatments. This non-invasive approach to gauging gut inflammation significantly aids in informed clinical decision-making for individuals suspected of having IBD, empowering precise and timely diagnostics at Hypro Diagnostics.
