About this trial

We attempt to examine the association between serum leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein (LRG) levels and endoscopic activity in patients with possible ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) to determine whether LRG was a predicting marker for UC or CD.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients whom possible UC or Crohn disease was suspected

Disqualifiers

other autoimmune diseases

acute or chronic renal failure

chronic heart diseases

liver cirrhosis

Trial population

In total, a consecutive cohort of 300 patients with possible UC or CD will be enrolled in this study at our hospital.

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • serum leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein (LRG) levels

    Diagnostic test

    Patients who were diagnosed with possible UC or Crohn disease according to endoscopic, radiological, histological, and clinical criteria were enrolled. Serum samples were collected from patients, and scores for clinical and endoscopic activity of disease were obtained by reviewing the clinical records of patients. Serum sampling and colonoscopy were performed within 7 days.

Treatment groups
