What this test is

The Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Test is a laboratory analysis used to detect inflammation in the digestive tract. It can help differentiate between conditions like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, which are types of IBD, and other gastrointestinal issues.

What it measures

  • Fecal Calprotectin — reflects inflammation in the intestines
  • Fecal Lactoferrin — indicates inflammatory activity in the gut
  • Fecal Occult Blood — detects hidden blood in stool, which can signal inflammation or bleeding

What the test involves

This test requires a stool sample, which you will collect yourself at home. Instructions for collection and returning the sample to the laboratory will be provided.

Why it is often ordered

Clinicians may order this test to investigate symptoms such as chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, or rectal bleeding. It aids in diagnosing and monitoring inflammatory conditions of the intestines.

Preparation

Please follow the specific preparation instructions provided by the laboratory that will process your sample. These instructions are important for accurate test results.
