Therapy monitoring in IBD

IBDs (chronic inflammatory bowel diseases) such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis are lifelong diseases of the digestive tract with episodic inflammation. Characteristic features are diarrhea, pain and often accompanying inflammatory diseases of the skin, joints and eyes. The disease makes everyday life more difficult for those affected and often leads to social isolation, because everyday things such as going to work, doing sports or meeting friends can become a challenge for CED patients. The regular measurement of the inflammation marker calprotectin provides information about the presence of inflammation in the intestine and plays a major role in the follow-up and therapy monitoring of IBD patients. The classical way to measure the calprotectin concentration in the stool is via the laboratory. However, this is time-consuming for patients and it can take days before a result is available. This lost time is valuable and could be used for therapeutic measures.

Preventis SmarTest® Calprotectin Home enables the quantitative determination of Calprotectin within a few minutes. Thus, the course of the disease can be checked directly at home or on a business trip. Even a carefree vacation becomes possible.
