The 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 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 کاملcomparison of fecal calprotectin level in inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome
background: fecal calprotectin (fc) has been suggested as a noninvasive substitute marker to determine the degree of intestinal inflammation in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (ibd). the aim of this study was to compare fc levels in ibd and irritable bowel syndrome (ibs), to show its discriminative value and relationship with clinical disease activity in patients with ibd. materials an...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملAccuracy of three different fecal calprotectin tests in the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease
BACKGROUND/AIMS Several studies have found that the measurement of fecal calprotectin is useful for the early diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We compared the effectiveness of three different fecal calprotectin kits for initial diagnosis in patients with suspected IBD. METHODS We enrolled 31 patients with IBD (18 Crohn's disease [CD], 11 ulcerative colitis [UC], and two intestin...
