Calprotectin Stool test measures the amount of protein calprotectin in your stool
Stool calprotectin is a biomarker used to assess inflammation in the digestive system. Calprotectin is a protein that is released by white blood cells, particularly neutrophils, in response to inflammation.
When there is inflammation in the digestive system, calprotectin is released into the intestinal tract and ultimately ends up in the stool. By measuring the level of calprotectin in a stool sample, healthcare providers can determine the presence and severity of inflammation in the digestive system.
