SEROLOGY
Fecal Calprotectin 150.0 H Normal: <50 µg/g
Sample: Stool Borderline: 50 - 120
Method: CLIA Elevated: >120
Fecal Calprotectin
Test Description:
1. Calprotectin is a calcium-binding protein secreted predominantly by neutrophils and monocytes.
2. Fecal calprotectin is a direct measure of inflammation in the gut and is directly correlates to disease activity in Inflammatory Bowel
Disease (IBD).
3. Elevations can be caused by IBD, infection, polyps,neoplasia or NSAID usage.
4. Fecal calprotectin assay has a relatively high specificity and sensitivity (approximately 90%) for distinguishing between
noninflammatory bowel disorders (e.g. irritable bowel syndrome) and inflammatory bowel disease (e.g. ulcerative colitis and Crohn`s
disease). Therefore allows for clear distinction of both the diseases.
5. Calprotectin is also elevated in some cases of GI tract malignancy (e.g. colorectal cancer).
6. It is regularly raised in active IBD
7. Faecal calprotectin concentrations relate well to disease activity in the inflammatory bowel diseases and can therefore be used to monitor
therapy
Limitations :
1. Other intestinal ailments, including GI infections and colorectal cancer, can result in elevated concentrations of fecal calprotectin
2. Diagnosis of IBD cannot be established solely on the basis of a abnormal calprotectin results.
3. Patients with IBD fluctuate between active and inactive stages of disease. Hence fecal calprotectin results may also fluctuate
4. GI bleeding of as much as 100 mL per day will increase the fecal calprotectin levels by only 15 μg/g.
