Calprotectin

Guys is 55mg/kg calprotectin much? Yesterday i got that result, just two days after me and my family suffered enterovirus.
 
Below 50 is deemed normal. In IBD active flares the Drs will start taking notice over 200... Mine was sitting around 150 & they wouldn't start any meds, it slowly started to rise then hit over 600 before they started me on Humira (after a failed attempt at imuran). My daughters (11) CP was 55 & they weren't worried... Hope that helps.. ☺

You surely can do much better, and cant be in the Crohn's club yet. Come back on this forum with serious results like ours around 500-1000 ;D

I'm obviously kidding, calprotectin measures white cells deposits so in case of some infection going on it can go up slightly but not as in Crohn's cases..
