Fecal calprotectin concentrations in alcoholic patients

European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2011
Excessive alcohol consumption often results in intestinal damage, mediated by inflammatory processes, mainly characterized by an increased influx of leukocytes. Fecal calprotectin is a granulocyte cytosolic protein, representing as a promising marker of subclinical intestinal inflammation.
