Analytical Performance and Clinicopathologic Correlation of Four Fecal Calprotectin Methods.
Calprotectin is a noninvasive biomarker that can distinguish inflammatory bowel disease from irritable bowel syndrome. We investigated four automated fecal calprotectin methods on five different platforms for their preanalytical process, analytical performance, and clinicopathologic correlation. ⋯ The automated calprotectin methods showed a good performance and comparable clinicopathologic correlation. Due to lack of standardization, the numerical values differ for the various methods.
