Fecal Calprotectin Level in Neonates with Necrotizing Enterocolitis
Background: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a disease with high mortality. It is more present in premature infants and can also happen in term and late preterm neonates. It may affect any segment of the small intestine or colon. However, most commonly influences the terminal ileum and proximal ascending colon. This disease might damage the entire bowel, which can be...
متن کاملFecal calprotectin concentration in neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis
PURPOSE Among the many factors associated with acute intestinal mucosal infection, numerous studies have proposed the usefulness of fecal calprotectin. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of fecal calprotectin in the diagnosis of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). METHODS We collected 154 stool samples from 16 very low birth weight and premature newborns at the Konyang Universi...
متن کاملFecal Calprotectin: A Screening Marker for the Early Detection of Necrotizing Enterocolitis among Children in Egypt
Background: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a lethal disease affecting newborns with significant morbidity and mortality rates. Moreover, it is the most eminent gastrointestinal threat affecting premature newborns. Unfortunately, early symptoms and signs are usually vague; therefore, there is a special demand for sensitive biomarkers in this regard. This study aimed to investigate the role o...
متن کاملFecal Bile Salts and the Development of Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Preterm Infants
BACKGROUND Intestinal bile salts (BSs) may be implicated in NEC development. We hypothesized that fecal BS levels are higher in preterm infants at risk for NEC. METHODS We compared the composition and concentration of fecal BSs in ten preterm infants who developed NEC (Bell's Stage ≥ II) with twenty matched control infants without NEC. Conjugated and unconjugated fecal BSs were measured after...
متن کاملNecrotizing enterocolitis report of 20 cases
Necrotizing enterocolitis is a disease of unknown origin. Epidemiological observations emphasize the potential roles of infection, enteric feeding and local vascular compromise of the Gastrointestinal tract in the pathogenesis of this disease. Clinical findings include signs of sepsis , plus abdominal distention , vomiting, bloody stool and occasionally , signs of intestinal perforation and pe...
