Anyone know what a calprotectin of 8,0000 would mean. i was told it could be inflammation but on reading google some articles says could be corectal cancer? Did anyone have a high result like this. Normal result would be 60.
Unfortunately I do not know what this calprotectin result means other than inflammation within the bowel. This inflammation can be caused by a number of things like irritable bowel, Crohns or cancer. so the doctors would take this test result, plus any symptoms and decide to do follow up tests to get more information.
I've placed here some information from an NHS hospital about this blood test.
Do remember that anyone who gets back you on the forum will be discussing things from their own personal experience of the situation and this may not be the same for you.
It is so difficult when waiting for answers and results. But trying to keep busy each day so your mind is distracted may help time pass.
Take care, and I hope you know more about your situation soon.
