## Background: Fecal calprotectin is a sensitive marker for gut inflammation. recently, we have established that a related protein, s100a12, is elevated in the feces of children with inflammatory bowel disease (ibd). this may represent a specific and sensitive disease marker. the objective was to i
Background: Some reports highlight the potential application of fecal calprotectin as a direct biomarker of intestinal inflammation and, therefore, as support in choosing candidates for endoscopy. The value of 100 lg/g was recently assumed as the best cutoff for this assay. The purpose of this study
