Description
The Fecal Calprotectin (fCAL) test measures the level of calprotectin in the stool. Calprotectin is a protein released by white blood cells in response to inflammation in the intestines.

This test is non-invasive and helps in differentiating between inflammatory and non-inflammatory conditions of the intestines.
