What is Fecal Calprotectin (fCAL)?
Fecal Calprotectin (fCAL) is a stool test that measures calprotectin, a protein released during intestinal inflammation. It is used to differentiate between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, and non-inflammatory conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Elevated levels indicate intestinal inflammation, helping monitor disease activity and response to treatment. This non-invasive test aids in diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal disorders.
What to expect & how to prepare
Fecal Calprotectin (fCAL) is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.
- Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
- Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
- Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
- Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Fecal Calprotectin (fCAL) result rather than self-diagnosing.
