Lactoferrin stool (fecal) test is used to detect inflammation in the intestines, such as in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), like Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis, and it is associated with disease activity and severity. The test can help to distinguish between IBD and non-inflammatory disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome, and to monitor IBD disease activity.

Lactoferrin is protein released by a type of white blood cell called a neutrophil. When there is inflammation in the digestive tract, neutrophils are attracted to the area and release lactoferrin, increasing the level of the protein in the stool. This test measures the level of lactoferrin in stool as a way to detect inflammation in the intestines.
