Gut Function Assessment provides evaluation of the digestive function, immune function maintenance, mucosal integrity, inflammatory status, and gluten tolerance of the gastrointestinal system. It can accurately reflect intestinal inflammation responses, differentiate Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) & Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), assess pancreatic digestive function, identify bloating or diarrhea caused by gluten sensitivity, and evaluate intestinal immune function risks. This comprehensive information on gut health helps physicians accurately diagnose complex cases and provide more appropriate healthcare.

Gut Function Health Assessment Test Applications
- Hb/Hp Combo FOBT
Haptoglobin, also known as hemoglobin-binding protein, primarily functions in the body by binding to free oxyhemoglobin in the bloodstream during hemolysis or red blood cell rupture. Its main clinical use is in the evaluation of hemolytic disorders, and it can also serve as a biomarker for acute conditions and inflammatory states.
Recent studies have also found that Helicobacter pylori infection may be a risk factor for gastric cancer. Early diagnosis can help prevent gastrointestinal inflammation and ulcer formation.
