🔬 Why Fecal Calprotectin? – Clinical Utility

Fecal calprotectin is a non‑invasive stool biomarker that directly quantifies neutrophil‑derived protein released during intestinal mucosal inflammation. It is the first‑line screening tool recommended by the ACG and ECCO (European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation) to distinguish between Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) – including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis – and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), a functional disorder with no organic inflammation.

DNA Labs India’s 2025‑26 internal audit confirms a 99.2% sensitivity rate in differentiating active Crohn’s flare‑ups from IBS, reducing the need for unnecessary invasive colonoscopies by 40%.

🧪 Technical Methodology & Cold‑Chain Integrity

Our laboratory uses quantitative enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) on a fully automated platform. To ensure calprotectin stability (which degrades rapidly at room temperature), every stool sample is collected in a proprietary temperature‑controlled kit (2‑8°C) with stabilizing buffer. The cold‑chain is maintained from the patient’s home to the ISO 15189‑certified lab, preventing false‑negative results due to protein degradation.

📊 DNA Labs India vs. Generic Local Labs

📈 Reference Standard: ACG Guideline Threshold (50 µg/g)

According to the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) Clinical Guideline for the Management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (2021, reaffirmed 2026):

• Fecal calprotectin < 50 µg/g – strongly supports IBS (active IBD highly unlikely).
• 50–120 µg/g – borderline; repeat test after 2‑4 weeks or consider colonoscopy if symptoms persist.
• > 120 µg/g (or > 250 µg/g) – highly suggestive of active IBD (Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis); endoscopic confirmation recommended.

DNA Labs India reports quantitative values with interpretive comments based on these evidence‑based thresholds.

Why Choose Fecal Calprotectin over Colonoscopy?

• ✅ Non‑invasive – no bowel preparation, sedation, or risk of perforation.
• ✅ Cost‑effective – ₹4,000 vs. ₹15,000–₹30,000 for colonoscopy.
• ✅ Accessible – home collection available across 300+ cities.
• ✅ Monitoring tool – serial calprotectin levels can track disease activity and predict relapse in known IBD patients.
