Anyone have the blood text Prometheus?
I did it on Monday. Outside of getting it done to start an immunosuppresant med does it also confirm crohns disease as a true test?
 
According to my doc it does. But I think you have to have other tests done in conjunction with it to really confirm. I had a colonoscopy, CT scan and then the prometheus.
 
I had it. It was done after my endoscopy/colonoscopy to confirm CD over UC. Certain signs of CD had been found in my biopsies and the doctor's observation and Promtheus was used to confirm what she thought.
 
I had the prometheus test after mri and colonoscopy as the final confirmation for chrons. It also was used to formulate a possible plan for the future. It has certain markers that give you a picture of the future in ten year increments. At least that is how it was explained by my doc.
