Gastrointestinal Panel

Test Code: 95045

Pathogens detected: Adenovirus, Norovirus, Rotavirus, Enterohemorrhagic E. Coli, Shiga-like Toxin, Enteropathogenic E. Coli, Enterotoxigenic E. Coli, Enteroinvasive E. Coli/Shigella, Salmonella Enterica, Campylobacter Jejuni, Vibrio Parahaemolyticus, Cdiff Toxin B Gene, Cryptosporidium Parvum, Giardia Lamblia

Methodlogy: TEM-PCR 

Clinical Significance: Rapid target enriched multiplex molecular testing of the presence of common gastrointestinal pathogens

Calprotectin, Stool

Test code: 16796

Methodology: Chemiluminescence (CL)

Clinical Significance: Calprotectin is a non-specific marker of bowel inflammation. Subsequent to white blood cell migration into the intestine, this neutrophil protein may be detected in the stool. Thus, fecal calprotectin levels may assist in diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease; Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and other disorders characterized by bowel inflammation. It can also be used as an aid in the differentiation of IBD from irritable bowel syndrome.

Zinc Protoporphyrin (ZPP)

Test Code: 948

CPT Code: 84202

Alternative Name(s): Free Erythrocyte Protoporphyrin, Protoporphyrin, Zinc, ZPPP

Methodology: Hematofluorometry

Clinical Significance: Zinc protoporphyrin is elevated in chronic lead poisoning and iron deficiency anemia. Its measurement is commonly included in screening for lead exposure, and in evalutation of anemia. This assay is not recommended for monitoring acute intermittent porphyria.
