Join Diasorin at ECCO 2026

February 19 - 21 · Booth #24


Join us in Stockholm for the European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation Congress. We’re proud to be part of this leading scientific meeting dedicated to advancing care for patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). 

Whether you work in primary or secondary care, conduct research, or support patients’ wellbeing, we’d love to welcome you at booth #24 to explore how Diasorin’s diagnostic solutions help clinicians deliver timely, accurate, and patient-centered care.
 

 INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE 

The IVDR-compliant LIAISON® Calprotectin assay now includes an indication for monitoring IBD. This update reflects real-world clinical needs: 

  • Beyond differential diagnosis: Fecal calprotectin (FC) is not only a valuable tool for distinguishing active intestinal inflammation from functional disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) but also plays a critical role in monitoring disease activity in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC).
  • Early detection: FC can detect intestinal inflammation before clinical symptoms appear, reducing reliance on invasive endoscopy during routine IBD follow-up.
  • Therapy optimization: FC supports treatment adjustments for long-term disease control.
  • Relapse prediction: FC levels are highly predictive of relapse risk after therapeutic de-escalation. 

These benefits are strongly supported by international clinical guidelines and consensus statements: 

  • ECCO-ESGAR-ESP-IBUS guideline recommends FC testing every 3–6 months alongside systemic markers such as CRP for disease monitoring1.  
  • NICE guideline highlights FC testing for post-diagnosis monitoring to help prioritize colonoscopies and optimize care pathways2.  
  • MSAC and GESA guidelines recognize FC as a valuable tool for tracking disease activity in IBD care3.  
  • STRIDE-II consensus confirms FC’s role in treat-to-target strategies, particularly in UC4.  
  • Evidence from the EuReCa study shows that regular FC testing predicts relapses in quiescent UC, enabling proactive, patient-centered management5
