The study reveals the large quantitative differences in FCP cut-off levels in different study populations. This study demonstrates a wide variation in FCP cut-off levels in the initial diagnosis of UC as well as in follow-up post-treatment. Therefore, this test requires validation of the available test kits and finding of appropriate cut-off levels for different study populations.
