- 1. Novel Diagnostic Strategies in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Mark H. Flasar, M.D. Assistant Professor of Medicine Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology
2. The Short List
- Markers of disease activity (serum, stool)
- Advanced endoscopic imaging
3. All That in 30 Minutes??? THATSUN-POSSIBLE! 4. Serology: The Two Jakes
- ASCA:The Crohns Disease Ab
- IgA + IgGvs. cell wall ofS. cerevisiae
- pANCA:The Ulcerative Colitis Ab
- + in 40-80% UC, 2-28% CD (UC-like CD) 4
- Newer assay more specific for UC
- Loss of perinuclear stain after DNAse
5. Other CD Abs: OmpC and CBir1
- Vs.E. coliouter membrane porin C protein
- 40% Ab- CD pts are + for anti-CBir1 7
- Vs. bacterial DNA in LP monocytes
6. Other Abs: PAB and anti-Glycans
- Vs. bacterial/fungal cell wall carbo hydrate s
- ALCA, ACCA, AMCA + in 18-38% CD
7. Serology: What is it Good For?
- IBD vs. Functional/Healthy
- Predict disease course or complications in IBD
- CD and UC progression/aggression
- Risk of pouchitis after IPAA for UC
- Following disease activity/treatment response

Am J Gastroenterol 2001;96:758 11. Summary: IBD vs. Functional/healthy
- pANCA and ASCA are specific for UC and CD respectively
- Can HELP rule in disease (if high PTP)
- The moderate sensitivity and low negative predictive value preclude them as a screening test
- Unable to rule out disease
- Potential application in pediatric disease to avoid invasive work up
12. Serology: What is it Good For?
- IBD vs. Functional/Healthy
- Predict disease course or complications in IBD
- CD and UC progression/aggression
- Risk of pouchitis after IPAA for UC
- Following disease activity/treatment response
13. ASCA for CD vs. UC 16. Vermeire S, et al. Gastroenterology 2001;120:827 14. Diagnosis: CD vs. UC
- 97 IC pts for ASCA/pANCA and followed 17
- 31/97 (32%) Declared themselves
- 85% of these, dx remained IC
- Adding anti-OmpC and anti-I2 in did not help 18
80% 64% 67% 78% UC ASCA-/ANCA+ 64% 80% 78% 67% CD ASCA+/ANCA- NPV PPV Specificity Sensitivity 15. Diagnosis: CD vs. UC (IC)
- 238 UC pts for IPAA had preop serology 19
- anti-OmpC, anti CBir1, ASCA, pANCA
- 16 (7%) developed CD after IPAA
- MV analysis ASCA+ 3-fold risk CD
- Glycan panel gASCA, ALSA, ACCA 11
- 1 Ab+: sens 77%, spec 90%, PPV 91%, NPV 77%
- 2+ Abs+ increased specificity/PPV
16. Summary: CD vs. UC (IC)
- Most specific test is combining ASCA/ANCA 20, 21
- PPV ranges 77-96% in several studies 22-24
- IC is likely a distinct clinical entity
- Newer markers may help (CBir1)
- 44% pANCA+ CD. vs 4% of pANCA+ UC pts 25

- CD and UC progression/aggression
- Risk of pouchitis after IPAA for UC
- Following disease activity/treatment response
20. Diagnosis: Pre-clinical markers
- pANCA variably present in UC relatives 26-29
- ASCA+ in CD relatives 5x more than controls 30,31
- Study of 40 IBD patients banked sera 32
- 31% of CD pts were ASCA+ prior to dx
21. Serology: What is it Good For?

- Risk of pouchitis after IPAA for UC
- Following disease activity/treatment response
22. Relationship Between Marker Antibodies and CD Cohort
- Analyzed immune response heterogeneity in 330 pts 33
- Found ASCA 56%, OmpC 55%, I2 50%, and pANCA 23%
- Described 4 distinct immune response phenotype clusters
- ASCA+, OmpC and I2 +, pANCA+, All negative
23. Antibody Expression Correlates with Clinical Characteristics 34. Vasiliauskas EA, et al. Gut 2000;47:487 24. CD progression/phenotype
- ASCA+more aggressive, complicated disease
- Higher levelsearlier disease onset 35,36
- FS, IP, SB resection, early surgery 34,37-41,45
- Higher long-term health care costs 46
- 3x odds relapse in children 42
- early onset, fistula/abscess recurrence, repeat surgery, SB dz 43,44
- SB involved more often than colon alone 34
25. CD progression/phenotype
- pANCA+ identifies 34,35,47,48
- UC-like subgroup, good therapy response , later onset
- Levels assoc w/disease progression (non-FS/IP FS IP) 39,49
- Assoc w/FS, IP and SB surgery 3, 34,38,47,49
