IBD Inflammatory Bowel Disease Screening Panel Test
About the Test
The IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) screening panel is a series of tests that are used to help diagnose and monitor inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. This panel typically includes the following tests:
- Complete blood count (CBC): This test measures the levels of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in the blood. Abnormalities in these levels can indicate inflammation or infection in the body.
- C-reactive protein (CRP): CRP is a marker of inflammation in the body. Elevated levels of CRP may indicate active inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract.
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR): ESR measures how quickly red blood cells settle at the bottom of a test tube. Elevated ESR levels can indicate inflammation in the body.
- Stool tests: Stool tests may be performed to check for the presence of blood, inflammation, or infection in the gastrointestinal tract.
- Colonoscopy: A colonoscopy is a procedure in which a flexible tube with a camera is inserted into the rectum and colon to examine the lining of the gastrointestinal tract. This can help identify any inflammation or abnormalities.
- Imaging tests: Imaging tests such as an abdominal CT scan or MRI may be performed to assess the extent of inflammation and identify any complications. These tests are not definitive for diagnosing IBD but can provide important information to help guide diagnosis and treatment decisions.
It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and interpretation of the results.
