Overview of the Calprotectin & Elastase Panel
The Calprotectin & Elastase Panel is a comprehensive 2-biomarker gastrointestinal health test that combines two important stool markers used to assess different aspects of digestive health. The panel measures Faecal Calprotectin, a marker associated with intestinal inflammation, and Faecal Elastase, an enzyme that provides information about pancreatic exocrine function.
By assessing both inflammatory activity within the bowel and pancreatic enzyme production, this panel provides a broader overview than either test alone. It may be requested when investigating ongoing digestive symptoms, monitoring known gastrointestinal conditions, or obtaining additional laboratory information before consulting a GP or gastroenterology specialist.
People may choose this panel if they experience persistent gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal discomfort, altered bowel habits, unexplained weight loss, bloating or diarrhoea, or if their healthcare professional recommends further digestive health assessment.
The Calprotectin & Elastase Panel provides valuable laboratory information but does not diagnose or exclude a medical condition on its own. Results should always be interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history, medications, imaging and other clinical investigations where appropriate.
What Does the Calprotectin & Elastase Panel Check?
Faecal Calprotectin - is a protein released by inflammatory cells within the gastrointestinal tract. Raised levels may indicate inflammation within the bowel and can provide useful information when investigating persistent digestive symptoms or monitoring inflammatory bowel conditions.
Faecal Elastase - measures the amount of pancreatic elastase enzyme present in stool. It helps assess pancreatic exocrine function and may provide information about the pancreas's ability to produce digestive enzymes.
Who May Benefit From the Calprotectin & Elastase Panel?
This test may be suitable for people who want to:
Investigate ongoing digestive symptoms, such as persistent abdominal discomfort, bloating or changes in bowel habits.
Assess possible bowel inflammation, particularly if symptoms suggest an inflammatory bowel condition.
Evaluate pancreatic digestive enzyme function when poor digestion, greasy stools or unexplained weight loss are a concern.
Support investigations into chronic diarrhoea, especially when symptoms have lasted for several weeks or keep returning.
Monitor known gastrointestinal conditions under clinical supervision, helping track changes over time.
Obtain additional laboratory information before consulting a gastroenterologist, so you can attend with more detail.
Monitor digestive health over time where clinically appropriate, particularly if you have had previous abnormal results.
Take a proactive approach to gastrointestinal health, even if symptoms are mild but ongoing.
Arrange a private digestive health test in London without waiting for a GP referral, for quicker access to testing.
Check both inflammation and pancreatic function in one panel, giving a broader overview of digestive health.

When Will I Receive My Results?

Turnaround times begin when the laboratory receives your sample rather than when it is collected. Specialist laboratory processing may occasionally extend reporting times. Results outside the expected range should be reviewed with your GP, gastroenterologist or another suitably qualified healthcare professional.
Understanding Your Results
Your report will include results for Faecal Calprotectin and Faecal Elastase, together with laboratory reference ranges where appropriate.
Reference ranges may vary slightly between laboratories because of differences in testing methods. Results within the reference range do not always exclude gastrointestinal disease, while abnormal results do not automatically confirm a diagnosis.
Results should always be interpreted alongside your symptoms, medical history, medications, diet, imaging and any additional clinical investigations. If you have concerns about your results, discuss them with your GP or gastroenterologist.
