Lactoferrin Quantitative Stool Test

The Lactoferrin Quantitative Stool Test evaluates stool for lactoferrin concentration to assess inflammation in the digestive tract. Increased levels are often linked to inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, while low or normal levels suggest non-inflammatory conditions. This test provides insight into immune activity, gastrointestinal health, and systemic balance.
