Correlation between Serum Levels of Calprotectin with Disease Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
Background and Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease defined by chronic synovitis and progressive joint destruction. This study investigated calprotectin as a serological marker in the hope of establishing an adequate means of diagnosing RA and following up on patients. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 32 RA patients who were referred to the rh...
متن کاملProton pump inhibitors may cause elevation in faecal calprotectin levels.
NICE has endorsed the use of faecal calprotectin (FCP) testing to enable clinicians to decide which of their patients presenting with diarrhoea may have inflammatory bowel disease or irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhoea (IBS-D). A normal result should reassure the clinician that their patient probably has IBS-D and this should obviate the need for a colonoscopy. I work in a community-based g...
متن کاملMeasurement of faecal calprotectin and lactoferrin in inflammatory bowel disease
Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are chronic relapsing gastrointestinal conditions characterised by an influx of inflammatory cells to the affected gut mucosa. The mainstay of diagnosing and re-evaluating these conditions in clinical practice and research is by invasive serological, radiological, endoscopic and histological assessment. In clinical trials, disease activity is often evaluat...
متن کاملCalprotectin and Lactoferrin Faecal Levels in Patients with Clostridium difficile Infection (CDI): A Prospective Cohort Study
Measurement of both calprotectin and lactoferrin in faeces has successfully been used to discriminate between functional and inflammatory bowel conditions, but evidence is limited for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). We prospectively recruited a cohort of 164 CDI cases and 52 controls with antibiotic-associated diarrhoea (AAD). Information on disease severity, duration of symptoms, 30-day...
متن کاملFaecal haemoglobin and faecal calprotectin as indicators of bowel disease in patients presenting to primary care with bowel symptoms
OBJECTIVE In primary care, assessing which patients with bowel symptoms harbour significant disease (cancer, higher-risk adenoma or IBD) is difficult. We studied the diagnostic accuracies of faecal haemoglobin (FHb) and faecal calprotectin (FC) in a cohort of symptomatic patients. DESIGN From October 2013 to March 2014, general practitioners were prompted to request FHb and FC when referring ...
