Is Fecal Calprotectin an Applicable Biomarker of Gut Immune System Activation in Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy? – A Pilot Study

Introduction: Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a complex autoimmune disease caused by dysregulated response to not fully recognized antigens. Some association between CIDP and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been reported, but the exact pathophysiological links of the...

The CIDP diagnosis was based on the EFNS/PNS criteria. The occurrence of bowel symptoms was assessed based on a questionnaire. The quantitative evaluation of fecal calprotectin level was performed by the ELISA test.Results: The fecal calprotectin level (μg/g) expressed as median along with the lower and upper quartiles [25Q–75Q] was significantly higher in CIDP patients compared to the controls: 26.6 [17.5–109.0] vs 15.6 [7.1–24.1], p = 0.0066.

The patients with abnormal fecal calprotectin level did not differ from the rest of the study group regarding the neurological status. The most common bowel symptoms reported by CIDP patients included constipation (33%), feeling of incomplete evacuation (33%), bloating (27%), and alternating bowel movement pattern (27%).Conclusion: In one-third of CIDP patients the signs of gut immune system activation have been observed.
