Faecal Calprotectin

Faecal calprotectin is commonly used to help in differentiation between irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). It is a sensitive and stable biomarker which is not detected by medication or dietary supplements. Quantitative results can give a clear answer for new diagnosis, as well as valuable tracking information for ongoing treatment.

Additionally, faecal calprotectin is an excellent predictor of relapse in patients with IBD. Clinicians depend on it to adapt their patient’s treatment and to ease the severity of potential relapse. FCP can add information and value to an endoscopy, or in some cases eliminate the need for invasive procedures. With ProciseDx, this test can be done in under 5 minutes during a patient visit.
