Can GI involvement in amyloidosis cause a false positive on a Cologuard test?
Unfortunately, there isn't specific information available about whether amyloid protein deposits in the gastrointestinal tract could interfere with Cologuard screening results.
Cologuard tests look for DNA markers and blood in stool that may indicate colorectal cancer or precancerous polyps. While amyloidosis can affect the digestive system and cause various GI symptoms, the relationship between amyloid deposits and Cologuard test accuracy hasn't been well-studied or documented.
If you're concerned about your Cologuard results or have GI involvement from amyloidosis, it's important to discuss this with your healthcare provider. They may recommend additional testing, such as a colonoscopy, to get a clearer picture of what's happening in your digestive tract.
Your doctor can help determine whether any positive results are related to your amyloidosis or if further investigation is needed.
