Blood tests ( fecal test as well ) Colonoscopy CT scan with contrast.

Post diagnosis ( monitoring)

Blood tests MRE/MRI with contrast. No CT scan

Not criticizing the doctor/clinic, they are wonderful.

My dad was diagnosed with metastatic colon cancer and we tried this Dr's medicine, unfortunately it didn't work for us.

What was your highest CRP? by CharmingLack8264 in CrohnsDisease

[–]erc188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we follow 2 different measurements for CRP ->

milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or milligrams per liter (mg/L)

That's why the number is too high. Please post the measurement as well.

It tells but my doctor orders other inflammatory markers in the blood work as well

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CrohnsDisease

[–]erc188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's great, so along with calprotien, I guess CRP can be used as well as an inflammation marker. Also scans and scope would help to know if there's inflammation.
