A member asked:

Is faceal calprotectin same as testing for c - reactive protein in blood test ? do they test for same thing or different organism ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Different: It's a screen from Crohn's and ulcerative colitis and perhaps other inflammatory problems specific to the gut. The C-reactive protein is a test (in my opinion often misleading) for systemic inflammation.
