Calprotectin

Writer's picture: Neocleous LabNeocleous Lab

Faecal calprotectin is a substance that is found elevated in #faeces when there is #inflammation in the #gut, such as in #inflammatory bowel disease.

Stool #calprotectin indicates the migration of #neutrophils to the intestinal #mucosa, a type of white blood cells that increase in case of intestinal inflammation.


Fecal calprotectin increases in the following conditions:

• Inflammatory bowel disease

(#crohn's_disease, #ulcerative_colitis)

#Colic colic

• Infectious #gastroenteritis

• Necrotizing #enterocolitis

• Intestinal cystic fibrosis

#Colon cancer


It is a simple, reliable, non-invasive marker that can be used as often as needed for the following #clinical uses:

• As a reliable marker of inflammation to distinguish between patients with #irritable_bowel_syndrome (#IBS) and #idiopathic_inflammatory_enteropathy (#IBD)

• Selection of patients for #endoscopy.

• To determine the activity of the disease and the risk of its recurrence.

• To monitor response to #IBD therapy and determine when a clinical remission has been achieved.
