Reference ranges from 17/10/2016 (NB: reference range only applicable to adult patients):

≤60ug/g: Not indicative of GI inflammation

>60ug/g but ≤ 150ug/g: Moderately elevated levels are associated with organic intestinal disease but should be interpreted in line with clinical assessment. Repeat FCALP in 4 weeks from first test and stop aspirin/NSAIDs. If this is the repeat test please refer for ‘new IBD’ clinic appointment.

>150ug/g: Elevated calprotectin suggestive of but not diagnostic of inflammatory bowel disease. Please refer for ‘new IBD’ clinic appointment.

Population Reference Range used historically at BHH < 30 kU/L.

Manufacturers reference data. Roche Diagnostics June 2006:

593 pre- and post-menopausal healthy females yielded a 95th centile value of 35 kU/L.
It is suggested that a value of > 35 kU/L indicates that disease may still be present when used in the context of detection of residual or recurrent ovarian carcinoma following first line treatment.
