Gastrointestinal Laboratory at Blackfriars Hub
Laboratory overview
The Gastro-Intestinal Laboratory provides novel and non-invasive tests for intestinal permeability using urinary profiles of different molecular weight sugars taken orally and excreted in the urine. A large workload is from faecal calprotectin testing for gut inflammation, to differentiate between inflammatory conditions from IBS and cancers.
