Abstract
Calprotectin is protein found in leucocytes. Calprotectin plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, including cell differentiation, immune modulation, tumor development, programmed cell death, and inflammatory responses. Gut inflammation due to various cause like genetic inheritance, changes in microbiota within intestine, defective immune regulation. Also, some infective such as salmonella, E. coli, Cytomegalovirus, Amoebiasis etc., and Non-infective such as Ischaemic colitis, Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, Colonic carcinoma etc., can mimic like inflammatory condition of intestine. Which can increase mucosal permeability, leading to the migration of immune cells toward chemotactic signals. Bacterial components trigger the release of calprotectin from immune cells, resulting in elevated levels of calprotectin in faces. Faecal calprotectin distinguishes between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), with high levels, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which typically has normal levels. It’s a valuable tool for identifying the underlying pathology when symptoms overlap. Faecal calprotectin is valuable for monitoring IBD patients and detecting mucosal healing or inflammation recurrence. A male patient with the age of 45 year having the symtopms like Sharirabhar hras (weight loss), Agnimandya (loss of apetite), Kshudha kale udara shula(Pain on empty stomach), Udara kathinyata (hardness of abdomen), Jirna Antah Jwaranubhuti(fever), Klama (fatigue), Bhrama(giddiness), Daurbalyata (weakness)since 1 year and history of Varamvar Pratishyay (recurrent cold), Nasa strava(nasal discharge), Kantha daha(sore throat), since childhood came to Ayurveda Chikitsa Mandir and Panchakarma Research Center, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. The patient was treated with ayurvedic medication in a duration of 1 year and got relief for further 1 year medicine is contined to check relapsing of disease. Results increase faith of the patient in Ayurveda.
