Serum phosphatidylinositol depletion associates with fecal calprotectin and disease severity in female and male IBD patients

Key Points

• Serum phosphatidylinositol depletion correlates with increased fecal calprotectin levels in IBD patients, indicating severity.
• Calprotectin, a biomarker, serves as an indicator of inflammation and disease intensity in IBD.
• The analysis highlights significant differences between male and female patients regarding disease severity and biomarker levels.
• Understanding these associations may improve disease management and therapeutic strategies for IBD.
