ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical value of fecal calprotectin as a marker for diagnosis of ulcerative colitis(UC).Methods ELISA assay was used to measure the concentrations of calprotectin in feces of 30 UC patients and 20 healthy controls.The disease activity of UC was determined by Truelove Witts histological criteria.Results The level of calprotectin in feces was significantly higher in feces with active UC(578?g/g) than with inactive UC(8.4?g/g,P0.05),but significant difference existed between each active grade and inactive phase of UC.The results revealed siginificant correlation between the endoscopic grades of disease activity and fecal calprotectin concentration(r=0.85,P
