Have today received a print out of my Stool sample results, a Dr. was unable to give me a explanation of them today as he was out on call, so thought I'd see if i can get any help here, thanks in advance. So the results say the following:
Test 1 Faecal Calprotectin 742 ug/g (i know this is classed as high due to 120 roughly being abnormal and also is an indicator of inflammation)
Test 2 however says the following:
Faeces Sepcimen
Cryptosporidium --- Not Seen
Salmonella --- Negative
Shigella --- Negative
Campylobacter --- Negative
E.Coli 0157 --- Negative
I am just wondering whether Test 2 gives me any indication as to what is causing the Calprotectin in test 1 to be so high? Or does it (possibly) signal that the inflammation is solely due to IBD, as the specimen ruled out other causes?
