Far from 100%: This much-discussed blood work is only one piece of the puzzle. It's not worthless. Biopsy is the gold standard and not always practical, and these labs which correlate some but are not altogether sensitive or specific are just intended to help with the real decision -- do we treat for inflammatory bowel disease or not?
