Department of Gastroenterology, Oslo University Hospital, Oslo, Norway.
Article Synopsis
- Mucosal healing is the new target in treating ulcerative colitis, and fecal calprotectin levels can help distinguish between inflammation and healing.
- A study involving 20 ulcerative colitis patients monitored their fecal calprotectin levels monthly until they dropped below 250 g/g or 12 months passed, followed by a flexible sigmoidoscopy to assess inflammation.
