Fecal calprotectin, a 15-minute test to differentiate between IBD/IBS by wizbiotech
IBD and IBS are two common gastrointestinal disorders that affect millions of people worldwide. They have similarities, but also differences between them.
IBD, or inflammatory bowel disease, is an autoimmune condition that causes chronic inflammation of the digestive tract. There are two main forms of IBD: Crohn's disease（CD）and ulcerative colitis(UC). Symptoms of IBD include abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, and fatigue. Treatment for IBD often involves medication and lifestyle changes, but for severe cases, surgery may be needed.
IBS, or irritable bowel syndrome, is a functional disorder that affects the digestive system. Symptoms of IBS include abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. While the exact cause of IBS is unknown, it is often triggered by stress, certain foods, or hormonal changes. Treatments for IBS often involves dietary changes, stress management techniques, and medication.
While IBD and IBS share some similar symptoms, the underlying causes and treatments for each condition are different. It is important for individuals experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms to seek medical attention and receive a proper diagnosis to ensure they receive the appropriate treatment.
The calcium guard protein detection items were developed and produced by Wiz Biotech Co., Ltd. itself based on a highly specific double antibody sandwich reaction principle. By detecting the concentration of calcium guard protein in fecal samples, IBD and IBS can be effectively identified within 10 to 15 minutes. Testing for calprotectin can help individuals get the proper diagnosis and treatment for their specific symptoms and improve their overall health and well-being.
