Calprotein in stool

2022-03-24 16:26:14
My mom is 48 years. She has been suffering from constipation for years. But from last 3 weeks she had water like stool. Doctor suggested to go for ultra sound(which came normal). Serum CEA blood test(which came 0.9). Now the doctor said to get tested for Calprotein in stool. Is there something to be worried about? Why is Calprotein in stool test given?
