According to the information provided by the laboratories, "the study does not require any special preparation from the patient". Anti-inflammatory drugs can affect the result - their discontinuation before the examination is best agreed with the doctor. The amount of calprotectin in the feces depends on the permeability of the intestinal barrier to the leukocytes that release it. It will be in the feces more in inflammatory bowel diseases. For more information on possible interference when testing the level of calprotectin in the faeces, it is best to contact a laboratory diagnostician in the laboratory where you want to perform the test.
