Rapid Calprotectin Measurement: A Key to Effective Gastrointestinal Disease Management
What is Calprotectin? Calprotectin is a protein found in white blood cells, specifically neutrophils, playing a crucial role in the body’s immune response. During inflammation, neutrophils release calprotectin into affected tissues. Its resistance to enzymatic degradation makes calprotectin a stable and reliable marker, especially when detected in feces samples. Elevated fecal calprotectin levels indicate gastrointestinal […]
