Calprotectin stool test in Chiswick
A private faecal calprotectin and qFIT test in Chiswick, W4. Calprotectin is a marker of inflammation in the gut, and qFIT detects tiny amounts of hidden blood. Together they help tell irritable bowel syndrome apart from inflammatory bowel disease. Analysed by Randox and explained to you at our Chiswick clinic, W4, two minutes from Turnham Green.
Price £114, including sample collection, Randox laboratory analysis and a practitioner review. No GP referral needed. Call 020 4515 0000.
Who it is for
- Ongoing diarrhoea, bloating or abdominal pain
- You want to know whether symptoms point to IBS or inflammation
- Monitoring known inflammatory bowel disease
Preparing for your test
No fasting is needed. We give you a stool collection kit with simple instructions. Tell us if you take anti-inflammatory painkillers, which can raise calprotectin.
Questions
How much is a calprotectin test in Chiswick?
The calprotectin and qFIT stool test costs £114 at Omnia in Chiswick, W4, including the kit, Randox laboratory analysis and a practitioner review.
What does a raised calprotectin mean?
It suggests inflammation in the bowel, which can have several causes including inflammatory bowel disease, infection or some medicines. A raised result is a reason to see your GP.
Is this a bowel cancer screening test?
No. qFIT detects hidden blood, but this test does not replace NHS bowel screening or seeing your GP about symptoms such as bleeding or a change in bowel habit.
