High Stool Calprotectin: What Are The Causes?

by Eric Bakker N.D.

Calprotectin is the inflammatory protein that can be measured in the stool. A calprotectin level below 60 is considered normal.

If the calprotectin level is 150 or higher, significant inflammation is present in the body. It needs to be checked out further with a colonoscopy and an assessment by a gastrointestinal specialist. Some of the conditions that can cause high levels of calprotectin include inflammatory bowel disease, certain medications such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS). High blood pressure can also elevate calprotectin levels. Remember to get your blood pressure checked if your calprotectin levels are high.
