Can these elevated calprotectin cause any problems— Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.20.44.44 (talk) 21:56 16 August 2014 (UTC)

Stand-alone calprotectin article

Hello,

I've been working on a new calprotectin page within my sandbox, for a course interested in the bioinorganic chemistry of complexes such as this one.

I feel that calprotectin deserves its own page— however currently calprotectin redirects to faecal calprotectin. I think that it would make sense to eventually integrate the two pages into a single "Calprotectin" page, and so I wanted to get your input before going live with my article.

Also, I am being graded this upcoming Friday! Comments on how to improve the article before then would be very much appreciated ☺

Thanks, Czeer (talk) 15:53, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done

Spelling: faecal or fecal?

Suggest "fecal" based on primary entry feces and dominance in Google Scholar over faecal calprotectin.

I would agree; the published literature favors "fecal" as more common spelling. Rytyho usa (talk) 18:51, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Degree of positive?

Does the degree of a positive result have any indication for what condition the test might be pointing to or the level of severity? For example, the upper limit of normal for a 30-year-old is 51 μg/g. Does a result of, say, 500 μg/g vs 250 μg/g imply a result of ulcerative colitis over Crohn's disease? Or does it mean whatever condition is it is much more severe than the 250 μg/g result? More detail on the test result would be appreciated.
