Understanding Fecal Calprotectin (Stool) in Coimbatore
What is Fecal Calprotectin (Stool) in Coimbatore?
A Fecal Calprotectin (Stool) test measures the level of calprotectin, a protein released by white blood cells, in the stool or feces. This test detects inflammation in the intestines and can help diagnose and monitor inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
What does Fecal Calprotectin (Stool) measure?
A Fecal Calprotectin (Stool) test determines the amount of a protein called calprotectin that is released by neutrophils (a type of white blood cell). Whenever there is inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, neutrophils move to the particular area and release calprotectin, resulting in an increased level in the stool. Therefore, this test is a great way to detect inflammation in the intestine.
