Calprotectin & Stool Acidity
Immunochromatography and pH analysis
A stool-based testing package that assesses intestinal inflammation and stool acidity by assessing faecal calprotectin and pH, helping support evaluation of gut inflammation, digestive balance, and gastrointestinal wellbeing.
What's Included
Full Description
The intestinal inflammation and stool acidity package includes testing for calprotectin and gut acidity. Calprotectin is released during intestinal inflammation, and high faecal levels are associated with active inflammatory conditions. Stool pH provides supportive information on gut acidity, which may vary between individuals and may be considered alongside symptoms, clinical history, and other gut health markers.
This test may be useful for individuals with digestive symptoms, irregular bowel habits, known or suspected intestinal inflammation, or those seeking additional information alongside gut microbiome analysis. Results should always be interpreted by a healthcare professional in the context of symptoms, medical history, and any additional investigations.
