Age, fecal calprotectin level, toxin B polymerase chain reaction cycle threshold, immunosuppression, sex, and creatinine levels were identified as independent risk factors for developing recurrent ...

Faecal calprotectin (FC) levels were significantly higher in children with colorectal polyps than in those with normal colonoscopy findings, suggesting a potential as a screening tool. Researchers ...

Switching from established intravenous (IV) therapy to subcutaneous infliximab was associated with high treatment persistence, stable clinical disease activity, and consistent faecal calprotectin ...

A calprotectin stool test detects levels of calprotectin in stool. This protein indicates bowel inflammation. It can help diagnose and monitor conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). A ...

Although not currently recommended as a formal therapeutic target in ulcerative colitis (UC) management, histologic healing is associated with improved long-term clinical outcomes. In a small ...

A test that rapidly detects signs of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in stool samples could improve future diagnosis and monitoring of the condition, a study suggests. Scientists have developed a ...

Scientists have developed a tool to measure the activity of a molecule linked to gut inflammation within faecal samples. The optical tool, known as a luminescent reporter, lights up when it detects ...

Conflicting prior study results on the effectiveness of calprotectin expression as a protective or pathologic response among persons with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) spurred this ...

I am still haunted by my initiation to Crohn disease. My late brother Andrew, who succumbed to the illness because of a confluence of complications at 29 years-old, first manifested symptoms as a ...
