Description
Summary:Objective: This study aimed to investigate the serum levels of calprotectin, hepcidin, iron, and ferritin in Behçet’s disease (BD). Materials and Methods: This study included 40 patients with BD who met the diagnostic criteria of the BD International Study Group (1990) and 40 healthy control participants. Serum high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), hepcidin, calprotectin, ferritin, iron, and unsaturated iron-binding capacity (UIBC) levels were determined in all study participants. Results: Statistically significant difference was found between the groups in respect of calprotectin (p
