P110 ASSOCIATION OF FECAL CALPROTECTIN WITH ENDOSCOPIC AND HISTOLOGY ACTIVITY IN PEDIATRIC INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE PATIENTS

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treatment strategies have evolved to target mucosal healing, which has been shown to be associated with clinical remission and reduced complications. Fecal calprotectin (FC) is a non-invasive marker of intestinal inflammation, and has been shown to correlate with disease activity in IBD patients, though values which correlate with mucosal healing vary across studies. We aim to examine the association of quantitative FC levels with endoscopic and histologic severity, and compare FC in IBD patients with endoscopic remission with a control population.
