Abstract
Our data suggest that f-S100A12 and FC are both useful non-invasive biomarkers in the management of pediatric IBD in follow up and in monitoring endoscopic and clinical relapse. • Fecal calprotectin (FC), fecal S100A12 (f- S100A12), and fecal zonulin represent potential noninvasive markers of gut inflammation. • Since S100A12 is predominantly expressed by granulocytes, high levels of f-S100A12 should be more specific for inflammation than FC. • FC and f-S100A12 were correlated to each other and despite the lack of correlation with disease location, they were associated with endoscopic inflammation and clinical relapse in children with IBD. • No significant correlations were found between f-zonulin and the inflammatory parameters.
