Specific marker for intestinal inflammation
Fecal lactoferrin is a highly sensitive and specific marker for detecting intestinal inflammation. Fecal calprotectin levels correlate well with histologic inflammation, predict relapses, and detect pouchitis. Both fecal lactoferrin and calprotectin are becoming an integral pa of IBD management and are used frequently to rule out active inflammationRef: Harrison 19e pg: 1952
