FIT and calprotecin test results

Hi everyone, I have received a result of 160 on a calprotecin test and 40ug on a FIT test. I am now panicking since I am now on a 2 week referral. Does anyone have any insight or experience with any of this? It will be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

  • Try not to worry, both those results can indicate quite a few things and it doesn't necessarily mean it will be anything sinister. Great news that you are in for an urgent referral though; it is always best to get these things checked out promptly.

    I hope you don't have too long to wait. I know that there was a backlog in the area that I'm from as they'd paused colonoscopies due to covid, but I didn't have too long beyond the two weeks to wait on mine. Hopefully you will find the same and be able to put your mind at rest. I'm currently in the process of getting my moviprep down as I'm booked in for my colonoscopy tomorrow. It's honestly not too bad, alternating a glass with a glass of apple juice. 

    Best of luck and take care x

  • Thank you for replying I really appreciate the advice. I hope your colonoscopy goes well tomorrow, the wait will finally be over and hopefully your mind will finally be at ease. Having people like you to share stuff with really does help, I wish you all the best and again, thank you for replying and helping to ease my worries:).
