Hi, this result would indicate IBS. Usually a result of over 100 is indicative of inflammatory bowel disease. Calprotectin tests for inflammatory markers specific to the bowel. Under 50 is normal, 50 - 100 is recognised in IBS but is still a normal result.
Hope this helps but please dont hesitate to ask me anything if you want more advice x
So this is what they call borderline and why I have to have a repeat test done.
50 or below is taken as a negative. 0ver 50- 200 is a grey area: they might repeat the test again in a few weeks. Over 200 is a strong indicator for IBD. See: calprotectin.co.uk/about-ca...
(Latter part of the article describes test results in more detail)
