The Calprotectin/QFIT Profile (Combined) analyzes stool for faecal calprotectin and the QFIT test, providing information on intestinal inflammation and colorectal health.
About this treatment
The Calprotectin/QFIT Profile (Combined) uses a stool sample to measure two biomarkers: faecal calprotectin, which may be associated with intestinal inflammation, and the QFIT test, a quantitative faecal immunochemical test that may indicate occult blood. This combined panel is useful for individuals concerned about gut health, especially those with symptoms such as abdominal pain or changes in bowel habits. Results are typically returned within 5‑7 days, and the price includes the faecal laboratory analysis plus a £50 phlebotomy fee for any required blood draw. The final report presents both biomarker values and offers guidance on next steps if abnormal levels are detected.

1This protein is released into the stool when the intestinal lining is damaged. It's usually very high in cases of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (such as Crohn's or ulcerative colitis), and low in IBS. Calprotectin is also elevated with gut infections and colon cancers.
