Association Between Level of Fecal Calprotectin and Progression of Crohn's Disease

Mucosal healing is associated with improved outcomes in patients with Crohn's disease (CD), but assessment typically requires ileocolonoscopy. Calprotectin can be measured in fecal samples to determine luminal disease activity in place of endoscopy—this measurement is an important component of the treat to target strategy. We investigated whether levels of fecal calprotectin associate with subsequent CD progression.
