I had the Prometheus IBD Serology 7 blood test two years ago that showed I had a pattern consitent with Crohn's Disease after a colonoscopy had revealed inflammation in my terminal ileum.
I am currently not getting a huge benefit that I can tell from 10mg/kg Remicade administered every 6 weeks. My GI doctor did another colonoscopy just three weeks ago and it was clean. he then ordered the new NOD2 Crohn's Prognostic from Prometheus.
They detected two abnormal levels in my blood. The first, ASCA IgA ELISA with a reference value of less than 8.5 EU/ml, mine was 40.3 EU/ml. The second, Anti-12 ELISA with a reference value of less than 368 EU/ml, mine was 1991 EU/ml.
The report also detected a mutation (heterozygous) of SNP 8.
Has anyone else had this test or know what any of this means?
