The Role of Fecal Calprotectin in Investigating Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
INTRODUCTION Invasive and non-invasive tests can be used to evaluate the activity of inflammatory bowel diseases. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of fecal calprotectin in evaluating inflammatory bowel disease activity and the correlation of fecal calprotectin with the erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C reactive protein values in inflammatory bowel disease....
متن کاملThe Use of Fecal Calprotectin in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
IB Calprotectin is a calciumand zinc-binding protein, which for practical purposes can be considered to be neutrophil-specific, although low levels are found in other phagocytic cells. Calprotectin accounts for approximately 60% of total soluble proteins in the cytosol fraction of neutrophils. Neutrophils are the common effector cells that define acute inflammation in response to a number of fa...
متن کاملFecal immunochemical test as a biomarker for inflammatory bowel diseases: can it rival fecal calprotectin?
Accurate evaluation of disease activity is essential for choosing an appropriate treatment and follow-up plan for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Endoscopy is required for accurately evaluating disease activity, but the procedures are sometimes invasive and burdensome to patients. Therefore, alternative non-invasive methods for evaluating or predicting disease activity including...
متن کاملDiagnostic accuracy of fecal calprotectin in assessing the severity of inflammatory bowel disease: From laboratory to clinic
Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves chronic inflammation of the digestive tract. In the past decades, fecal calprotectin has been proposed as a useful biomarker for the differential diagnosis between IBD patients and healthy controls. We designed this study to evaluate the diagnostic ability of fecal calprotectin (FC) and conventional inflammatory markers in IBD patients. M...
متن کاملRole of fecal calprotectin as a biomarker of intestinal inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease.
Calprotectin is an abundant neutrophil protein found in both plasma and stool that is markedly elevated in infectious and inflammatory conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We conducted a systematic review of the published literature regarding fecal calprotectin to evaluate its potential as a noninvasive marker of neutrophilic intestinal inflammation. Reference ranges for feca...
