Inflammatory bowel diseases are incurable conditions that feature gut inflammation. Standard markers have inadequate sensitivity and specificity. S 100 A 12 is a new fecal marker that has promise as a non‐invasive indicator of gut inflammation. This article reviews recent studies focusing on S 100 A 12 and highlights the current and potential roles of this biomarker.
