Our results have shown that faecal calprotectin is an independent predictor of remission in UC patients. The results of our study represent real-life data from a single university centre dealing with FC as a prognostic marker in patients with UC. KEY MESSAGESFaecal calprotectin is an independent predictor of remission in UC patients.Recent studies have suggested that calprotectin correlates well with endoscopic activity of inflammation but correlation of faecal calprotectin in a phase of remission hasn't been evaluated yet.We have found that other inflammatory biomarkers do not correlate well with either endoscopic or clinical activity in ulcerative colitis.
