Fecal Zonulin as a Noninvasive Biomarker of Intestinal Permeability in Pediatric Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases—Correlation with Disease Activity and Fecal Calprotectin

Fecal Zonulin as a Noninvasive Biomarker of Intestinal Permeability in Pediatric Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases—Correlation with Disease Activity and Fecal Calprotectin

Background: Recent data indicate that increased intestinal permeability plays a key role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and correlates with disease flare. Since zonulin related proteins (ZRP) are the proteins that increase permeability in the epithelial layer of the small i...
