LACTOFERRIN CHEK® is an ELISA for the qualitative detection of elevated levels of fecal lactoferrin, a marker for fecal leukocytes and an indicator of intestinal inflammation. Lactoferrin is very stable and is not degraded during infections.
The LACTOFERRIN CHEK® test detects lactoferrin in liquid, semi-liquid, and solid human fecal specimens.
LACTOFERRIN CHEK®
Lactoferrin is a marker for fecal leukocytes present in the stools of people with intestinal inflammation due to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and C. difficile infection. A positive test result indicates an increased level of fecal lactoferrin and warrants additional testing.
Diarrheal diseases can be classified into inflammatory and noninflammatory diarrhea. Non-inflammatory diarrheas include those caused by viruses and most parasites and are, for the most part, effectively treated with simple oral rehydration therapy. Inflammatory diarrheas, on the other hand, tend to be more serious and need to be followed up by more extensive testing.
