Microparticles in Pediatric Inflammatory Disease

Stopped early

Conditions studied: Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis

In brief

The purpose of this study is to provide data correlating levels of microparticles that circulate in the blood and disease activity in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The hypothesis is that circulating microparticles will be higher in children with active IBD, show inflammatory activity, and will be low in patients in remission as well as in healthy controls.
