Calprotectin quantification is one of the fast, effective diagnostic tools and treatment monitoring for gastrointestinal diseases such as colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, digestive disorders....

Calprotectin assays and biomarkers provide valuable information about the presence of gastrointestinal inflammation. They are considered to be rapid, effective diagnostic tools and help monitor treatment for gastrointestinal diseases such as hemorrhagic colitis.

Fecal calprotectin concentrations are approximately 6 times higher than those in plasma, and its measurement is used as a surrogate marker of gastrointestinal inflammation. High fecal calprotectin concentrations in COVID-19 patients may lead to intestinal inflammation.
