Abstract
Fecal calprotectin can be used as a noninvasive tool to assess inflammation in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the diagnostic accuracy of calprotectin is modest, and therefore additional markers are needed. We compared the efficacy of fecal hemoglobin and calprotectin as markers for endoscopic inflammation in patients with IBD.
