Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic nonspecific disease of the digestive tract that is caused by genetic and environmental factors, including ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and unclassified IBD. At present, the diagnosis of IBD depends mainly on clinical manifestations, imaging changes, colonoscopy, and pathological biopsy, but there exist some limitations. The advantages of serological markers in IBD diagnosis are prominent, and a large number of relevant studies have been reported. This paper reviews the diagnostic and therapeutic value of serological markers in IBD, with an aim to clarify their role in the diagnosis and treatment of IBD.
