Abstract
Background: Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is identified through endoscopy and biopsies. Endoscopy assesses a disease's severity. Calprotectin is a 24 kDa dimer of S100A8 and S100A9 calcium-binding proteins. Inflammatory bowel illnesses, celiac disease, and viral colitis elevate calprotectin levels in faeces.
