What does high fecal calprotectin mean?

High fecal calprotectin, an index with high specificity mainly in the intestinal tract, is mostly used to detect infectious diseases of the intestine and can objectively reflect whether there is inflammation of the intestine. In addition, the value can reflect the severity of intestinal inflammation and is a non-invasive test, which can be used for regular review of infectious diseases or acute inflammation of the intestine to avoid damage caused by traumatic examinations.
