CALPROTECTIN

The CALPROTECTIN test is a non‑invasive, at‑home stool assay that measures fecal calprotectin — a protein released by activated neutrophils when there is inflammation in the intestines. Quantitative measurement (reported in µg/g) helps identify and monitor intestinal inflammation associated with conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and distinguishes inflammatory disorders from functional bowel conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

This test is commonly used to evaluate unexplained chronic diarrhea, persistent abdominal pain, or visible blood in stool, and to monitor disease activity or response to therapy in known IBD patients. At-home sample collection with secure courier pickup and rapid laboratory reporting across Dubai and the UAE makes it convenient for patients, but results should always be interpreted by a gastroenterologist alongside clinical assessment and other investigations.

• Fecal Calprotectin
• Calprotectin Concentration (µg/g)
• Quantitative Result
• Result Interpretation (Normal / Borderline / Elevated)

• Persistent or unexplained diarrhea
• Suspected inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis)
• Monitoring IBD activity or treatment response
• Differentiate inflammatory vs functional bowel symptoms (IBD vs IBS)
• Follow‑up after GI bleeding or abnormal imaging/endoscopy

• Non‑invasive at‑home stool collection
• Quantitative marker of intestinal inflammation for clinical decision making
• Helps reduce unnecessary invasive tests like immediate colonoscopy
• Rapid sample pickup and reporting across Dubai and the UAE
• Useful for tracking treatment response and early detection of relapse

• Small stool sample collected using supplied at‑home kit
• Avoid urine contamination and follow kit instructions for storage (usually refrigerate if delay)
• Inform your physician about recent NSAIDs, PPIs, or antibiotics that may affect results
• Deliver sample for same‑day pickup when possible for accurate analysis
