Classifications of rheumatological extraintestinal manifestations in inflammatory bowel disease: Unmet needs in clinical practice and trials.

Rheumatological EIMs (notably joint inflammation) are frequent in IBD and affect quality of life; inconsistent definitions and lack of validated PROs make it harder for patients and clinicians to understand and compare...

Reduced fecal GP2 levels in ulcerative colitis associate with inflammatory activity and microbial composition.
Clinica chimica acta; international journal of clinical chemistry

Reduced fecal GP2 levels in ulcerative colitis associate with inflammatory activity and microbial composition.

If fecal GP2 reliably reflects UC activity and microbial changes, it could become a noninvasive marker to track inflammation or to study disease mechanisms that differ between UC and CD.
