Abstrakt: Background and Study Aims: Close monitoring of disease activity in IBD patients is essential to avoid long term complications. Although endoscopic assessment is the ideal monitoring tool, the usage of noninvasive biomarkers is more practical and patient friendly. We aimed to study the performance of Interleukin-6(IL-6) and Serum Amyloid A(SAA) as serum biomarkers in assessment of the disease activity of IBD patients in correlation to C-reactive protein (CRP), Fecal Calprotectin (FC) and endoscopic indices.
Methods: 83 IBD (26 CD and 57 UC) patients on stable treatment regimen were recruited. Serum markers included CRP, CBC, IL-6, SAA were analyzed, together with FC. These markers were compared with the endoscopic and clinical disease parameters. Harvey-Bradshaw Index (HBI) and the Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index (SCCAI) were used to assess clinical activity in CD and UC patients, respectively. Endoscopic activity was recorded using the Simple Endoscopic Score (SES) for Crohn's disease or the Mayo Endoscopic Score (MES) for ulcerative colitis.
Results: In prediction of disease activity, IL-6, SAA and CRP demonstrated good area under receiver operating characteristics (AUC) (>0.7), with FC being the best (0.94) for endoscopically active disease (P < 0.01). Combining FC and IL-6 or SAA improved its discriminative accuracy with an AUC (∼0.96).
Conclusions: FC most accurately predicts endoscopic disease activity in IBD patients, in comparison to other studied serological biomarkers. The serum IL-6 and SAA are potential predictors of endoscopic disease activity, and they might be valuable for assessment of disease activity. Finally, a composite score of FC and SAA or IL-6 can increased its diagnostic accuracy.
