Disease information

Chronic inflammatory bowel disease (CIBD) is divided into two main variants; Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). The highlight however is that both share an autoimmune etiology and have genetic predispositions.

Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitis manifests as bloody diarrhea with left lower quadrant pain. It mainly affects the rectum and goes as proximal as caecum, resulting in a continuous lesion. It causes mucosal and submucosal ulcers and depending upon the extent of the intestine involved, increases risk for colonic cancer.

Crohn’s disease
Crohn’s disease can affect the alimentary tract anywhere from the oral cavity all the way down to the anus. The striking feature is that it results in skip lesions, i.e., few segments are involved and few aren’t (not a continuous disease). Keep watch over bloody diarrhea and right lower quadrant pain which are the primary symptoms of Crohn’s disease.

Diagnostic Guidelines

The investigation process carries differential and targeted diagnosis side by side. The high diagnostic requirements are met by IFA single assays as well as highly specific IFA mosaics (CIBD profiles) which have been developed for serological diagnosis of autoimmunological disease processes UC and CD.

Autoantibodies against the acinus cells of exocrine pancreas are a reliable marker for diagnosis of Crohn’s disease. They are highly specific and are frequently associated with the disease reflected by their high serum concentrations.

The fact that antigen in the pancreatic secretions namely CUZD1 and GP2 trigger CD, the presence of antibodies against these antigens namely rPAG1 against CUZD1 and PAG2 against GP2 propose another dimension for serological diagnosis of CD.

Other important markers for serological diagnosis:

  • ASCA (antibodies against Saccharomyces cerivisiae) for CD
  • Autoantibodies against intestinal goblet cells, for UC
  • Autoantibodies against DNA-bound lactoferrin, for UC
