PWE-016 Faecal Calprotectin Has an Acceptable Sensitivity for Detecting Small Bowel Crohn’s Disease: Results from Real World Clinical Practice: Abstract PWE-016 Table 1
Abstract:IntroductionFaecal calprotectin ‘FC’ is a quick, non-invasive and inexpensive test proven to correlate well with colonic inflammation. It is used in our institution to also exclude active small bowel Crohn’s disease ‘CD’ although its reliability in such cases has recently been questioned. Using a higher cut-off FC value may exclude active disease in those with known inflammatory bowel disease with a higher specificity and reduce the number of false positives.1,2The aim of this study was to assess whether FC co… Show more
