High calprotectin

Hi,

 

After having loose stools for a few months, but with no other symptoms, my tests show I have a calprotectin level of 600, which the GP says is the highest he's ever seen. I'm now waiting for a colonoscopy, but my stools have returned to normal. I'm very confused and worried. Has anyone else had similar levels? I would be interested to know how you got on, and what the outcome was.

 

Thanks,

Simon

  • Hello, 

    I am 25 year old female, who before all this has never even thought of cancer, I’m young I haven’t needed to it doesn’t happen right?

    well I was having loose stools for over 3 years before I decided it was a good idea to get checked out, this was when I started noticing blood in my stool as well, I have lost 3 stone in the space of 5 months and not actively trying to. 
    After going to the doctors I had to do the F.I.T test and the other stool test- the score was 1800, and my doctor said this can signal cancer and has done in the cases she has seen, I am currently waiting on an appointment for a colonoscopy. But worrying myself sick! Any advice would be appreciated
