Emerging Biomarkers for Diagnosis and Prognosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Comprehensive Review
Author(s): Marko Mestrovic*
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC), presents significant diagnostic and prognostic
challenges due to its complex and heterogeneous nature. This comprehensive review aims to evaluate and synthesize recent advancements in
the identification and application of emerging biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of IBD. Through a systematic review of the literature, we
identified a range of promising biomarkers, including genetic markers, serum proteins, fecal markers, and microbiota profiles. These biomarkers
have demonstrated potential in distinguishing IBD from other gastrointestinal disorders, monitoring disease activity, and predicting patient
outcomes. The integration of these novel biomarkers into clinical practice holds promise for enhancing the precision of IBD diagnosis and
prognosis, ultimate.. Read More»
