Longitudinal Changes in Fecal Calprotectin Levels Among Pregnant Women With and Without Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Their Babies
The effect of pregnancy on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains poorly understood. fecal calprotectin (FC) levels were measured at each trimester of pregnancy and in babies throughout the first 3 years of life. FC levels were correlated with the bacterial abundance in both mothers and babies. Pregnancy is associated with decreased inflammatory activity in mothers with IBD.
