Fecal Calprotectin Combined with Fecal Occult Blood Test Shows Advantages in Diagnosing Digestive Disorders
Gastrointestinal disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer, are prevalent and can have severe consequences if not detected in early stage. Traditionally, these diseases have been diagnosed through invasive procedures like colonoscopy. Recently, a new diagnostic project, combining fecal calprotectin and fecal occult blood tests, has shown promising results in diagnosing gastrointestinal diseases.
Fecal calprotectin is a protein in the intestine released during inflammation. By measuring calprotectin levels in the stool, doctors can assess the presence and severity of inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. On the other hand, a fecal occult blood test detects tiny amounts of blood in the stool, which may indicate bleeding in the digestive system. The advantage of combining these two tests lies in their complementary nature. While fecal calprotectin provides information about inflammation, fecal occult blood tests can detect potential bleeding. By analyzing both factors simultaneously, physicians can obtain a more comprehensive understanding for the patient's condition.
Moreover, the combined testing method offers several benefits. Firstly, it is non-invasive, making it more comfortable for patients and reducing the risk of complications. Additionally, it is cost-effective compared to invasive procedures like colonoscopy. Furthermore, the results are quick, allowing for prompt diagnosis and timely treatment.
Diagnostic Kit forCalprotectin/Fecal Occult Blood(Colloidal Gold), independently developed and produced by Xiamen Wiz Biotech Co., Ltd., can complete the testing of two items in one sampling. It is non-invasive, making patients more comfortable and reducing the risk of complications. Meanwhile, compared to invasive procedures such as colonoscopy, it is cheaper, faster in getting results, and with advantages of timely diagnosis and treatment.
