Gut Inflammation & Parasitology
What's included
This test measures the level of calprotectin, a protein found in white blood cells, in your stool. Elevated levels can indicate inflammation in the intestines, often associated with conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Technology for detecting parasites and other pathogens has improved dramatically since 2013. This PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test looks for the genetic fingerprint of a wide range of pathogens. This is a far more sensitive test than the old fashioned technique of looking through a microscope.
