FECAL CALPROTECTIN <10.0 ug/g Stool
Method:ELISA
Interpretation :
Note
1. To avoid potential false positive results, patients should abstain from using NSAIDs for at least two weeks prior to
the test
2. Patient with IBD fluctuate between active (inflammatory) and inactive stages of the disease. These stages must
be considered when interpreting results of the fecal calprotectin assay.
3. Other intestinal diseases, including many gastrointestinal infections and colorectal cancer, can result in elevated
levels of calprotectin.
Comment :
Calprotectin is a calcium-binding protein found within neutrophils which influx into the bowel during inflammation.
Calprotectin is excreted in excess into the intestinal lumen during the inflammatory process and act as a marker for
inflammatory diseases of the lower gastrointestinal tract. The levels of the protein are high in cases of Inflammatory
bowel diseases (IBD) but not in non-inflammatory bowel diseases e.g. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), therefore this
test can help to differentiate between the two diseases.
