Measurement of faecal calprotectin concentration is increasingly used to assess disease activity in patients with IBD. Lasson et al. have now demonstrated that calprotectin concentrations in faeces of patients with mild or moderate left-sided or extensive ulcerative colitis vary considerably and have questioned the long-term stability of calprotectin when stored at room temperature.
粪便钙卫蛋白浓度的测定越来越多地用于评估 IBD 患者的疾病活动度。Lasson 等人现在已经证明,轻度或中度左侧或广泛性溃疡性结肠炎患者粪便中的钙卫蛋白浓度差异很大,并质疑在室温下储存时钙卫蛋白的长期稳定性。
