Therefore, there is urgent need for non-invasive, objective and reliable tool for IBD diagnosis or monitoring.With the development of technology and understanding of the pathogenesis of IBD, much progress has been achieved to discover novel IBD biomarkers in genetic, microecological, metabolomics and gut barrier field.
