AIM: To evaluate the correlation between fecal calprotectin(f C), C-reactive protein(CRP), and endoscopic disease score in Asian inflammatory bowel disease(IBD) patients.METHODS: Stool samples were collected and assessed for calprotectin levels by Quantum Blue Calprotectin High Range Rapid test. Crohn’s disease endoscopic index of severity(CDEIS) and ulcerative colitis endoscopic index of severity(UCEIS) were used for endoscopic lesion scoring. RESULTS: A total of 88 IBD patients [36 patients with Crohn’s disease(CD) and 52 with ulcerative colitis(UC)] were enrolled. For CD patients, f C correlated with CDEIS(r = 0.465, P = 0.005) and CRP(r = 0.528, P = 0.001). f C levels in UC patients correlated with UCEIS(r = 0.696, P < 0.0001) and CRP(r = 0.529, P = 0.0005). Calprotectin could predict endoscopic remission(CDEIS < 6) with 50% sensitivity and 100% specificity(AUC: 0.74) in CD patients when using 918 μg/g as the cutoff. When using 191 μg/g as the cut-off in UC patients, calprotectin could be used for predicting endoscopic remission(UCEIS < 3) with 88% sensitivity and 75% specificity(AUC: 0.87). CONCLUSION: f C correlated with both CDEIS and UCEIS. f C could be used as a predictor of endoscopic remission for Asian IBD patients.
