Clinical Value of Inflammation-related Indicators of Blood and Fecal Calprotectin in Predicting the Surgery Rate of Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis
Clinical Value of Inflammation-related Indicators of Blood and Fecal Calprotectin in Predicting the Surgery Rate of Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis
Acute severe ulcerative colitis [ASUC] patients have high risk of no response to medical treatments and might miss the best timing for surgery when waiting for the medical response. Thus, we investigated whether biomarkers which could early predict the surgery risk of patients with ASUC on admission.
Inclusion Criteria:
The inclusion criterion was patients clearly diagnosed as acute severe ulcerative colitis.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients younger than 18 years-of-age, complicated with malignancy in colon and pregnant were excluded.
