Fecal Calprotectin (fCAL) Price in Bangladesh

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

A sample is collected at the centre and analysed in the laboratory. The sample type — blood, urine, stool or another body fluid — depends on the specific test, and the collection staff will tell you which one applies.

• Fasting: only some laboratory tests need fasting, and this varies test by test. Ask the centre whether fasting is required for this specific test when you book, rather than assuming.
• Medication: tell the laboratory about medicines, supplements and recent injections, because some can affect results.
• Requesting slip: bring the doctor's advice or previous reports so the laboratory runs and compares the right test.
• Report timing: turnaround differs between routine and specialised tests — the centre will tell you when your report is ready.

Have a registered doctor interpret the result together with your symptoms rather than self-diagnosing from reference ranges.
