Current status of fecal calprotectin as a diagnostic or monitoring biomarker for cow's milk protein allergy in children: a scoping review.

CONCLUSIONS: Available evidence is not sufficient to confirm the utilization of fecal calprotectin both in diagnosis and monitoring of CMPA and predicting for allergic disease. More clinical and bench researches with elaborate design should be conducted and the exact cut-off values of fecal calprotectin in different groups remain to be determined.
