Hello Liz,
In the result window can be seen one , two or three colored lines which show only the presence of calprotectin,but not cantitative.The result test of my boyfriend shows all lines but 2 of them are diaphanous.Anyway he ll repeat today again and furthermore he will go to hospital to repeat there also.
Thank you for your reply.
Hi elisa,
I am not sure what you mean by "the lines are not clear"......however, I regularly have a calprotectin stool assay test, as it is non-invasive, and cheap for the medics to do. Additionally, it does not involve ironising radiation, as do colonoscopies and upper endoscopies, CT * MRI scans etc. It really is just a "pointer", showing inflammation somewhere in the GI tract, but cannot detect where. I vaguely remember that if the calprotectin level is above 8, then this shows inflammation. Try googling "calprotectin stool assay test" for more detailed information.
Liz.
