100-250 ug/g- intermediate result & the test should be repeated in two weeks.

I've had blood in my stools back in September & only now they've done this test, just want some answers, I've been having tests since May...blood tests etc & feel no where forward....

Your dr is correct to suggest repeating the test in 6 weeks. Keep in mind this test is not used to diagnose a person, it's used as a marker only.
