Life in ‘Smell’
Persaud & Dodd Nature 1982
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)Disease alters gut flora - altered
fermentation patterns which alters
the composition of gases emitted
from urine
Organic compounds that have high
vapour pressure at normal room
temperature.
Mainly from colonic fermentation by
gut bacteria and partly from
physiological metabolic processes
Released in breath, urine, faeces,
blood
A potential diagnostic biomarker in
IBD

Conclusions
Clear disease separation between controls, ulcerative
colitis and Crohn’s disease
Able to detect between disease flares and remission
VOC correlation with GC/MS
Potential first line diagnostic modality in patients with
suspected IBD
Inexpensive novel tool, non invasive and potentially
provides point of care diagnosis
