Questions
How much is a calprotectin test in Chiswick?
The calprotectin stool test costs £119 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. Calprotectin measures inflammation, not hidden blood, so this test does not replace NHS bowel screening or seeing your GP about symptoms such as bleeding or a change in bowel habit.
