Physiological Reference Ranges
The ranges below represent standard adult physiological values. Your laboratory's printed reference range always takes precedence.
0 – 50 µg/g
0 – 50 µg/g
0 – 50 µg/g
What does a low result mean?
A reading under 50 µg/g is highly reassuring, reliably ruling out significant active mucosal inflammation in the gut.
What does a high result mean?
A modest rise (50 to 150 µg/g) is very common after mild gastroenteritis or following temporary use of NSAIDs like ibuprofen.
Questions ready for your doctor
Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:
- Could recent ibuprofen tablets or a minor stomach bug explain this result?
- Does this result point toward benign irritable bowel sensitivity rather than inflammation?
- Should this be verified with a follow-up test in a few weeks?
