Appropriate additional investigative and curative procedures by specialists are recommended. Calprotectin, a calcium-binding protein produced in cells such as neutrophils, is released during inflammation. Fecal calprotectin works as a biomarker of gastrointestinal inflammation and neoplasia. In the presence of an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), neutrophils influx into the intestinal lumen and release calprotectin,
