What blood tests help in the diagnosis of crohn's disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a bloodwork call: Routine labs reflect only the illness (malabsorption, inflammation) and are nonspecific. A pricey antibody panel is offered to perhaps support and/or prognosticate the diagnosis. The diagnosis is made on imaging and perhaps biopsy or (worst case) resected surgical specimen.
