Fecal calprotectin and lactoferrin can still differentiate inflammatory disease from functional bowel disorders. Comparison studies have found an overall diagnostic accuracy in IBD of 80% to 100% for both calprotectin and lactoferrin.

2020年11月1日 · Calprotectin and lactoferrin are ordered by different clinical specialties for different indications. Calprotectin is most often ordered by gastroenterologists in the context of abdominal pain. Lactoferrin is most often ordered by primary care …

The mean (±standard error) values of faecal calprotectin and lactoferrin were significantly higher in patients with endoscopic recurrence (≥i2) than in those without endoscopic recurrence (calprotectin 229.5 ± 34.8 vs 102.3 ± 19.0 µg/g, lactoferrin 161.4 ± 19.1 vs 83.7 ± 23.2 µg/g).

Fecal calprotectin and lactoferrin appear to be equally recommendable as inflammatory disease markers in patients with lower gastrointestinal symptoms. Both tests are needed to accurately discriminate activity in inflammatory bowel disease patients.

2017年2月26日 · Both fecal calprotectin and lactoferrin have been found to be quite accurate in diagnosing inflammatory disease. In discriminating IBS, Schoepfer and colleagues found that calprotectin and lactoferrin were 89% and 91% accurate, respectively.

2020年11月1日 · Calprotectin and lactoferrin are ordered by different clinical specialties for different indications. Calprotectin is most often ordered by gastroenterologists in the context of abdominal pain. Lactoferrin is most often ordered by primary care …

The levels of faecal calprotectin and lactoferrin correlated closely, which might suggest a concordance in their expression patterns. Both calprotectin and lactoferrin levels significantly and positively correlated with the severity of endoscopic findings in the neo-terminal ileum.

2012年2月20日 · Fecal calprotectin and lactoferrin can still differentiate inflammatory disease from functional bowel disorders. Comparison studies have found an overall diagnostic accuracy in IBD of 80% to 100% for both calprotectin and lactoferrin.

2016年3月16日 · Fecal biomarkers such as calprotectin (FC) and lactoferrin (FL) are predominantly derived from neutrophils, are easily detectable in the feces and are now established as valuable markers of intestinal inflammation. In recent years, a ‘treat to target' concept has emerged for the management of IBD.

Calprotectin had the highest diagnostic accuracy in CD (81.4%), whereas lactoferrin was superior in UC (83.3%). Both fecal calprotectin and lactoferrin have been found to be quite accurate in diagnosing inflammatory disease.
