Calprotectin 236 ug/g

Hello,

 

I've had extreme fatigue/exhaustion for months (I'm also b12 deficient so put it down to that!) 

Dr asked about my bowel motions and I said over the last 6 months they've increased to 3+ times a day ( used to be 1 every other day!)

He ran calprotectin test and it's come back abnormal 236 ug/g needs repeating in 2 weeks 

 

I also bought a FOB test online which came back positive for blood in my sample 

 

I know tests are getting done and I shouldn't worry but I am.

 

Anyone else had similar calprotectin results? What was outcome? 

 

Thanks  xxx

  • Hello MrsW88

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some ongoing health concerns and that you're now waiting for follow-up tests after your recent Dr's appointment. It's understandable that you may be feeling worried about things. 

    This waiting period and uncertainty can be difficult for many people, but try to remain positive. There could be many reasons for the abnormal test results that you've had. The important thing now is that the GP is following up with these and I'm sure they will make any appropriate referrals or appointments if needed. 

    If you think it may help to talk with one of our team of nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any information and support they can. 

    I hope that you have some reassuring news soon. 

    Best wishes,
