Crohnʼs disease activity assessed by fecal calprotectin and lactoferrin: Correlation with Crohnʼs disease activity index and endoscopic findings

Abstract

For evaluation of Crohn's disease activity, based on endoscopic findings, more sensitive surrogate markers than is CDAI or CRP are fecal calprotectin and lactoferrin. These prove to be useful tools for estimation of disease activity in Crohn's disease.
