A member asked:
Fecal calprotectin came back at 62. normal range is <50 and report says >50-120 is borderline and should be repeated. her abdominal pain has resolved. all other fecal tests normal? does this warrant a colonoscopy. fx history of crohns?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fecal calprotectin is used to rule out inflammatory bowel disease when the level is normal. If the level is not normal, a gastroenterologist should be consulted into considering symptoms and other lab tests to determine whether to perform a colonoscopy. Risk of Crohns disease is higher in individuals with first degree relatives who have it.
