Comparison of the indexes of serologic activity with endoscopy in intestinal inflammatory disease

The correlation of the most commonly used clinical and serologic parameters in clinical practice were studied with an endoscopic model for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Eighty patients diagnosed with IBD with colic involvement (40 patients with ulcerous colitis [UC] and 40 with Crohn's dise...

Description
Summary:	The correlation of the most commonly used clinical and serologic parameters in clinical practice were studied with an endoscopic model for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Eighty patients diagnosed with IBD with colic involvement (40 patients with ulcerous colitis [UC] and 40 with Crohn's disease [CD]) were prospectively studied. The CDAI was used as a clinical index of activity in the cases of CD and the True-love and Witts index was used in those with UC. The analytical parameters studied were erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), hemoglobin (Hb), platelets (Th), iron (Fe), protein-C-reactive (PCR), albumin (Ab), orosomucoid (Oro), and alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT). An excellent correlation was found in the UC in both the clinical index and serologic parameters. However, the correlation in CD was poor and only significant with iron and albumin.
