Anti-TNF therapy attenuates the diagnostic utility of leucine-rich α2-Glycoprotein 1 for endoscopic activity in ulcerative colitis.
Therapeutic advances in gastroenterology

Anti-TNF therapy attenuates the diagnostic utility of leucine-rich α2-Glycoprotein 1 for endoscopic activity in ulcerative colitis.

Serum LRG1 is a candidate blood biomarker for mucosal inflammation in UC, but anti-TNF drugs may suppress its levels and cause false-negative results. This affects noninvasive monitoring and decisions based on LRG1...
