متن کاملSerum laminin and collagen IV in inflammatory bowel disease.
BACKGROUND / AIMS Laminin and collagen IV have been proposed as extracellular matrix serum markers. Because fibrosis is a major complication of inflammatory bowel disease, serum concentrations of laminin and collagen IV were measured in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) and compared with inflammatory and healthy controls. METHODS Laminin and collagen IV serum co...
