Calprotectin

Calprotectin


The Calprotectin test measures the level of calprotectin, a protein released during inflammation in the intestines. Raised levels may indicate inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, while normal levels are more commonly associated with conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
