Test Overview
The Calprotectin Stool Test in Delhi is a non-invasive diagnostic test that measures the amount of calprotectin, a protein released by white blood cells in your intestines during inflammation. High levels of this protein can indicate conditions like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, while normal levels usually suggest non-inflammatory conditions such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
This stool-based test helps your doctor detect inflammation in your gut early, monitor treatment progress, and decide whether further investigations such as colonoscopy are needed.
What Does a Calprotectin Stool Test Measure in Delhi?
The Calprotectin Stool Test in Delhi evaluates intestinal inflammation by measuring calprotectin levels in your stool:
- Identifies Gut Inflammation: Detects calprotectin levels that rise when your intestines are inflamed.
- Differentiates Between Conditions: Helps doctors distinguish IBD (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis) from IBS.
- Monitors Disease Activity: Assesses whether your current treatment for IBD is effective.
- Guides Treatment Decisions: Helps determine when more intensive or follow-up testing is required.
- Avoids Invasive Procedures: May reduce the need for unnecessary colonoscopies.
