A member asked:

What would a high level of calprotectin in a 1year old stool mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing by itself: Any of several inflammatory diseases, or it may be quite normal. This lab is famously not specific, but intended to support an impression from history, physical and imaging. Best wishes.
