What is this test?
The lactoferrin test detects lactoferrin—a protein released by leukocytes—in a stool sample. Elevated lactoferrin indicates intestinal inflammation, so the test helps distinguish inflammatory diarrhea (e.g., caused by bacteria or inflammatory bowel disease) from non-inflammatory diarrhea.
