Introduction: Fecal calprotectin FCP can be found in high concentrations in inflammatory bowel disease due to the increase in leucocyte turnover in intestinal wall or increase of migration of neutrophils into the lumen. In this study, we aimed to determine the FCP values of the ulcerative colitis UC patients at the time of diagnosis and to investigate the applicability and effectiveness of this non-invasive method in the diagnosis of the disease, routinely. Materials and Methods: A total of 19 patients with UC 10 females, 9 males, age: 11.5±3.5 years old whoose stool samples collected during the diagnosis period and 20 healthy controls 10 female, 10 male, age: 10.3±4.5 years old were included in the study. Stool samples were collected for FCP analysis by ELISA method at the time of diagnosis and before the treatment period. Results: FCP values of the UC group were statistically higher than the control group. FCP values of the UC and control groups were 398.4 μg/gr stool 56.7-2450 and 19.4 μg/gr stool 2-81 , respectively p

Giriş: Dışkıda fekal kalprotektin FKP inflamatuvar bağırsak hastalıklarında İBH , bağırsak duvarındaki lökositlerin döngüsünün ve bağırsak lümeni içerisine nötrofillerin migrasyonunun artmasıyla yüksek konsantrasyonlarda bulunabilmektedir. Çalışmamızda ülseratif kolitli ÜK hastalarımızda tanı anında FKP değerlerini belirlemeyi ve noninvazif bir yöntem olan bu testin rutin uygulanabilirliğinin etkinliği amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamıza tanı konulduğu sırada dışkı örnekleri alınmış olan 19 ÜK’li 10 kız, 9 erkek, yaş ort: 11,5±3,5 yıl ve 20 sağlıklı kontrol 10 kız, 10 erkek, yaş ort: 10,3±4,5 yıl dahil edildi. Hastalarımızdan tanı konulduktan hemen sonra, tedavi öncesi, dışkı örnekleri ELİSA yöntemi ile FKP çalışılması için toplandı. Bulgular: ÜK grubunun tamamında FKP değerleri kontrol grubundan anlamlı derecede yüksekti. Dışkıda saptamış olduğumuz FKP değerleri ÜK ve kontrol grubumuzda sırasıyla 398,4 56,7-2450 μg/gr dışkı ve 19,4 2-81 μg/gr dışkı olarak bulundu p
