Micro Albuminuria as an Indicator of IBD Activity

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), is a chronic, relapsing, and remitting inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. This study aimed to assess microalbuminuria role in IBD activity prediction and to investigate the correlation between microalbuminuria with disease activity. Methods: This a case control study involved 50 IBD adult cases at Benha University Hospitals. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A (n=40): Patients had IBD that subdivided according to the disease activity into two equal groups: Group A1 (n=20): Active group, group A2 (n=20): Remission group and group B (n=10): people were healthy controls group. Results: There was a significant correlation between microalbuminuria and UC (r=0.807, P< 0.001) and CD (r=0.652, p
