Hmmmm

Although I've had NO symptoms of UC for a year now, my calprotectin test this week shows a level of 664. I suppose my inflamation is still there after a year on Rinvoq. BUT....so long as I continue to feel great...I shall continue with Rinvoq. Haven't seen my doctor yet, but he mentioned he wants to do a colonoscopy around March of next year. The journey continues.

Glad you're feeling well, Geezer-- that's the main consideration. Several members here on the forum commented over the last couple of years that calprotectin test results don't correlate with their flares. Being a senior who already has enough chores to do, I recently told my longtime gastro that I didn't see any reason to test calprotectin-- because my flares always correlated to ESR blood test results. The gastro was not upset by my comment. I already had managed UC for 30 years when calprotectin tests were implemented so that has never seemed any kind of significant undertaking for my health's sake. (The "Everything-but-the-kitchen-sink" approach to managing UC doesn't work for me.) / Old Hat (40+ yrs with left-sided UC; in remission taking Colazal)

Hi all, no liver issues that I know of. Calprotectin levels in the past have been fairly accurate for me. As Old Hat says...feeling well is the main thing. LOL I'll get the colonoscopy when my new gastro doc advises, but I just don't want to do ANYTHING to 'rock the boat'. LOL Stay well and safe and I wish you all very happy holidays.
