Serum lipopolysaccharide-binding protein and soluble CD14 are markers of disease activity in patients with Crohnʼs disease

Abstract

Serum LBP and sCD14 are markers of disease activity in CD with a similar accuracy as hs-CRP. In addition, LBP, sCD14, and a high frequency of previous relapses were independent predictors for 1-year clinical flare-up. (Inflamm Bowel Dis 2011).
