Az elmúlt évtizedben a gastrointestinalis kórképek diagnosztikája sokat változott. Az endoszkópos és képalkotó módszerek mellett előtérbe kerültek a gyorsan elvégezhető laboratóriumi diagnosztikus vizsgálatok is. Külön előnynek számít, ha a vizsgálat könnyen ismételhető, így a krónikus betegségek követésére, az esetleges fellángolások időben történő felismerésére is alkalmas lehet. A székletkalprotektin meghatározása, mely más országokban már a mindennapi diagnosztika része, hazánkban is egyre több helyen hozzáférhető. Összefoglaló közleményünkben bemutatjuk a székletkalprotektin-vizsgálat szerepét és megbízhatóságát a gasztroenterológiai kórképekben, különös tekintettel a gyulladásos bélbetegségekre, a bélrendszeri fertőzésekre, az irritábilisbél-szindrómára és egyes gyermek gasztroenterológiai kórképekre. A különböző betegségekben és helyzetekben használatos határértékeknek és az ezekhez tartozó specificitásnak és szenzitivitásnak a bemutatásával szeretnénk segíteni a klinikai orvosokat a helyes döntéshozatalban.
