Among patients with IBD in self reported clinical remission, habitual meat intake may affect the risk for flares in those with ulcerative colitis, but not in those with Crohn's disease.

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 ...

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 ...

The External Assessment Group did a systematic review of the evidence on cost effectiveness for faecal calprotectin testing and constructed a de novo economic model. The outcomes of interest for the ...

Regular stool tests already used in NHS care, combined with dietary information, could help identify people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) at higher risk of relapse, a major study suggests.

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 ...

Postoperative recurrence (POR) is a major challenge in the long-term management of Crohn’s disease (CD), affecting up to 70% ...

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 ...

Further research is needed on the use and clinical utility of faecal calprotectin testing, and support pathways for the long‑term management of these conditions in the community should be developed.
