Fecal Calprotectin

Fecal Calprotectin is a protein released by a type of white blood cell called a neutrophil. When there is inflammation in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, neutrophils move to the area and release calprotectin, resulting in an increased level in the stool. This test measures the level of calprotectin in stool as a way to detect inflammation in the intestines.

This test measures levels of Intestinal Inflammation by taking a stool sample

Some of the root causes of inflammation of the small and large intestine include:

• Inflammatory bowel disease. This debilitating disease includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.
• Ulcerative colitis. This condition involves ulcers forming in your large intestine and rectum that can irritate your bowels and cause diarrhea.
• Crohn’s disease. This disease includes inflammation of the lining in your digestive tract and, like ulcerative colitis, can result in severe diarrhea.

While the majority of these diseases are usually not fatal, living with any of them will affect your quality of life. It’s important that you get them properly diagnosed so you can find relief, and begin the right treatment plan to cure your condition or keep it under control.

The first step in treating your intestinal inflammation is taking a test and, based on the results, getting medical advice from a health professional or gastrointestinal specialist. Our at-home intestinal inflammation tests are easy to use and will determine if your intestines are inflamed.
