Abstract

Persistent active endoscopic and histological inflammation is associated with poorer outcomes in ulcerative colitis (UC). Fecal calprotectin is a surrogate marker of endoscopic and histological remission. To confirm the correlation between fecal calprotectin and endoscopic or histological disease activity and to define the optimal cutoff value to detect endoscopic and histological remission. From a prospectively maintained database, we analyzed 61 UC patients who had fecal calprotectin measurement and endoscopy performed within 1 month. Endoscopic activity was graded using the Mayo endoscopic subscore (MES). Histological remission was defined as normal histology or quiescent histological activity. Eighteen patients (29.5%) and five patients (8.1%) had endoscopic remission defined as MES ≤ 1 or MES = 0, respectively. We observed a significantly lower median level of fecal calprotectin in patients with endoscopic remission than those with endoscopic activity for both definition of endoscopic remission, i.e., MES ≤ 1 (158 vs 490 µg/g, p = 0.0005) or MES = 0 (94 vs 414 µg/g, p = 0.013). Seven patients (11.5%) were in histological remission. They had a lower median level of fecal calprotectin than those with active histological infl...Continue Reading
