Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases(IBD)includes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn′s disease (CD). Recently, the incidence of IBD in China has been growing rapidly and caused a major public health burden. Although several traditional diagnostic methods can directly evaluate intestinal inflammation in patients with IBD, there are still limitations in these methods such as invasive or unreliable results because of clinical and pathologists′ clinical experience. 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. In this review, we will demonstrate current updates of IBD related biomarkers and showed future prospective of these biomarkers.(Chin J Lab Med, 2018, 41: 712-715) Key words: Inflammatory bowel diseases; Biomarkers
