Abstract:

Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD),including Crohn's disease(CD) and ulcerative colitis(UC),is a chronic intestinal inflammation of unknown etiology. At present,the diagnosis of IBD is confirmed mainly by endoscopy and histopathologic examination of biopsies,and the invasiveness and difficult operations of such inspections make it necessary to find a non-invasive method that is more convenient,sensitive,affordable and efficient. Serological biomarkers may meet this demand and has become a focus of IBD research. This review summarizes recent research progress in the field of IBD,advance in traditional markers and some new types of markers such as anti-glycoprotein 2(GP2) antibody,anti-CUB and zona pellucida-like domain-containing protein 1(CUZD1) antibody,apoptosis inhibitor of macrophage(AIM) and serum-derived hyaluronan-associated protein(SAHP).

Key words: Serological biomarker, Inflammatory bowel disease, Ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease
