Interpretation of the test results
The results are displayed in micrograms of calprotectin per gram of stool (µg/g). The application also shows you the trends over time.
- Low value (<50 µg/g) – No active inflammation.
- Moderate value (50-200 µg/g) – The value may be elevated, observe the progress or consult a doctor.
- High value (>200 µg/g) – Possibly active inflammation, consult your doctor.
The colour or intensity of the test lines has no influence on the interpretation. Faint lines are always valid and indicate a positive result.
What to do if the result is positive or negative?
What should I do if the test is positive (high value)?

-
Contact your doctor so that he can assess your situation.

No active inflammation has been detected.
