Measuring it in stool gives a marker of what's happening locally in the gut rather than systemically. It's frequently used to help distinguish between conditions that involve inflammation of the bowel and those that don't, which is a distinction with quite different management. That's a clinical judgement, not one to make from a number alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKit posted to you with instructions and return packaging.
