At IBD in the exacerbation phase was detected the increase of fecal calprotectin (FC) level in 98% of patients. With increasing of clinical disease activity in patients with UC as well as CD was marked a significantly increased content of calprotectin in stool samples, which was accompanied by increase of indicators of inflammation acute phase: rising RRF, leukocytosis, an increase of frequency of stool with blood and mucus, fever and abdominal pain. In the phase of exacerbation the increase in concentration of CRP depends on the degree of inflammatory activity, rather than on lesion localization. The highest concentration of CRP was revealed at a high degree of IBD activity with stool frequency up to 8-10 times/day with impurity of blood and abdominal pain. At moderate activity of IBD, it is less expressed diarrhea (stool frequency 2-3 times a day), without blood, detected lower lever of PCF concentration--from 250 to 380 ug/g. A study of calprotectin concentrations in stool samples is considered to be reliable and sensitive method for evaluation of inflammatory activity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
