The Assessment of a Rapid Noninvasive Immunochromatographic Assay Test for Fecal Lactoferrin in Patients with Suspected Inflammation of the Ileal Pouch

Abstract

The IBD EZ VUE test is a sensitive method that may remove the need for invasive pouch investigations and lead to greater confidence when antibiotic therapy is commenced. Further investigations may be reserved for those patients who have a positive lactoferrin test and fail to respond to antibiotic treatment.
