Value of Fecal Calprotectin
An observational study of Calprotectin and Inflammatory Bowel Disease, run by Indiana University at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
For the main goal - the accuracy of calprotectin for the diagnosis of IBD - calprotectin levels will be compared between patients with and without a diagnosis of IBD and the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy will be determined. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Correlation of Fecal Calprotectin Level With the Clinical, Endoscopic, Histologic and Radiologic Activity in Inflammatory Bowel diseaseThe Value of Fecal Calprotectin for the Diagnosis and Assessment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
For the main goal - the accuracy of calprotectin for the diagnosis of IBD - calprotectin levels will be compared between patients with and without a diagnosis of IBD and the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy will be determined. For the secondary aim - the correlation between calprotectin levels and disease activity - in patients with IBD selected from this cohort, we will determine the association between calprotectin levels and clinical IBD score, serological markers (WBC, Hgb, Platelets, ESR, CRP, Albumin), endoscopic (disease score, pathological activity) and radiological features (bowel wall thickening, enhancement, edema, mesenteric inflammation).
