In addition to all of the markers assessed in the CDSA level 4 the Level 4 PLUS test includes the following important markers:
INFLAMMATION MARKERS
Faecal secretory IgA (sIgA) is secreted by mucosal tissue and represents the first line of defence of the GI mucosa and is central to the normal function of the GI tract as an immune barrier.
The tTg antibodies test is the most sensitive and specific gluten intolerance test for coeliac disease. This tTG test can also be used to help evaluate the effectiveness of treatment as antibody levels should fall when gluten is removed from the diet.
TUMOUR & ULCER MARKERS
This stool test measures:
M2-PK is the key regulator of tumour metabolism and its measurement in faeces may assist in identifying gastrointestinal tumours, even in the absence of gastrointestinal bleeding.
A positive test result indicates the presence of a current infection and is not affected by the presence of other organisms, antacids, barium sulphate, blood or fat.
