Must draw both a Lavender and Gold top tube for this assay
Combines serologic, genetic, and inflammation markers to help differentiate IBD vs non-IBD and ulcerative colitis vs Crohn’s disease. This test aids healthcare providers in differentiating IBD vs non-IBD and CD vs UC in one comprehensive blood test. This assay includes 9 serological markers ASCA IgA, ASCA IgG and proprietary markers anti-Fla-X, anti-A4-Fla2, anti-CBir1, anti-OMPC, and DNAse-sensitive pANCA that helps identify patients with IBD and utilizes Smart Diagnostic Algorithm Technology to improve the predictive accuracy. Genetic susceptibility influences immune responses and this assay includes evaluation of ATG16L1, STAT3, NKX2-3, and ECM1. Inflammatory markers include VEGF, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, CRP, SAA. While most other labs only offer assay values, PROMETHEUS® IBD sgi Diagnostic® provides added clarity in diagnosing IBD, UC, and CD.
