Mayo score and DAI (r = 0.879, 0.895, respectively), CAIqFIT did closer with the both index (r = 0.906, 0.901, respectively).When a cutoff level was set 100 ng/ml, nineteen of 42 patients with Mayo 2 or 3 had CAI ≤ 4, however, 13 of 19 patients had positive result of FHb.Conclusions: Additional item of fecal hemoglobin as a marker for mucosal inflammation to CAI (CAIqFIT) is useful for the assessment of the activity of UC.
