Gut, 2005 Costa and colleagues ( Gut 2005; 54 :364–8) recently reported a study describing the ability of faecal calprotectin to predict relapse in the following year in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). They concluded that a calprotectin level >150 µg/g was predictive of relapse in Crohn’s disease (CD) and in ulcerative colitis (UC), but was more ...

Calprotectin testing in the community [PDF]
Annals of Clinical Biochemistry: International Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2011 Calprotectin is an acute phase reactant. It is the dominant cytosolic protein in neutrophils and is also present to a lesser extent in monocytes and macrophages. Plasma concentrations increase fiveto forty-fold following infection or inflammation, but faecal concentrations are about six times higher than those in plasma.

A Prognostic Marker in Idiopathic Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss: Serum Calprotectin [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2020 Objectives. Calprotectin, a protein released by neutrophils, has been used in many studies as a biomarker showing the presence of inflammation. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the relationship between serum calprotectin level and response to ...

Melanocyte and Melanoma Cell Activation by Calprotectin
Journal of Skin Cancer, 2014 Calprotectin, a heterodimer of S100A8 and S100A9, is a proinflammatory cytokine released from ultraviolet radiation-exposed keratinocytes. Calprotectin binds to Toll-like receptor 4, the receptor for advanced glycation end-products, and extracellular ...
