Summary: There are no completely reliable methods for predicting relapsein Crohn's disease. We studied prospectively 45 patients withcrohn's disease in remission for 8 months period. The activity ofdisease was monitored by CDAI calculation and by followinglaboratory parameters: ESR (first hour),fibrinogen,alpha-l-antitrypsin and alpha-l-glycoprotein. Statistical differences in CDAI values and laboratorymeasurements between patients who later relapsed and those whoremained in remission were evaluated by Student t-test. Table l and 2. ommitted. Conclusion: alfa-l-glycoprotein was the only acute phase proteinwhich showed predictive value regarding impending relapse. Allstudied parameters increased significantly at the time ofrelapse. Identification of patients in clinical remission withhigh risk of relapse might indicate early treatment.
Keywords: Crohn's disease, acute phase proteins, relapse prediction.
