Calprotectin
Non-invasive biomarker for screening IBD vs. IBS and monitoring IBD activity.
Calprotectin is a protein marker found in stool that indicates inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, useful for screening and managing Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). This test helps distinguish IBD from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and aids in monitoring disease activity in IBD.
