Interpretation
What does the test result mean?
Stool Calprotectin values are a measure of how much inflammation is there in the intestine. The following table shows the possible values and their interpretation.| Calprotectin Value (μg/mg) | Possible Implication |
|---|---|
| 50 - 200 | Considered normal for screening purposes in London, especially in people of African-Caribbean descent |
| Between 50 to 200 | No rush for investigation, low likelihood of abnormal pathology |
| >200 | Higher chance of being indicative of disease |
| 500 - 600 | Nearly guarantees pathology findings, extremely predictive of IBD or food infections |
