A proinflammatory marker in chronic rhinosinusitis: serum calprotectin.

CONCLUSION: Serum calprotectin values were correlated with the severity of symptoms in patients with CRS; thus, it seems to be a valuable pro-inflammatory biomarker for the diagnosis of the disease and determining its severity. Further studies with larger series are needed to evaluate the preoperative and postoperative serum calprotectin values ​​in patients undergoing surgery.
