How to judge to use fecal calprotectin testing or endoscopy examination?
IBD conditions tend to fluctuate and require regular follow-up evaluations. Although endoscopy examination is the most accurate assessment method, but frequent use of this invasive and more expensive measurement is difficult for patients to accept.
Fecal calprotectin has stable physicochemical properties, and sampling at any time within 24 hours does not affect the concentration of fecal calprotectin. More ever, the patient’s overall health conditions, dietary components, general medication, or nutritional support therapy do not influence the fecal calprotectin’s level!
In terms of cost, fecal calprotectin testing is more economical than endoscopy examination. When suspecting IBD or monitoring disease activity in IBD patients, measuring fecal calprotectin levels can be used to assess the need for further comprehensive examination, avoid redundant use of invasive means.
