Biomarkers in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Beschreibung

This book provides a comprehensive and complete overview of biomarkers in clinical practice for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) bringing together the literature in a clear and concise manner. The book bridges the gap between growing knowledge at the bench and current and future applications of biomarkers in clinical practice. 

The central structure of the book focuses on prognostic and predictive biomarkers in IBD with an emphasis on the fields of research and scientific techniques (genomics, proteomics and metabonomics) that have led to biomarker discovery and places these biomarkers within a clinical context to help understand their utility in clinical practice.

The author team comprises experts from around the world in order to bring together the literature in an effort to inform clinicians and researchers about the current state-of-the art in biomarker discovery.  It is intended to  assist future research efforts and indicate how biomarkers might be best applied to clinical practice both at present and in the future

Incorporates current biomarkers within practical algorithms that can be applied to clinical practice

Addresses predictive (early or ultra early) biomarkers of response to current therapeutic agents which form the backbone of medical therapy as well as prognostic biomarkers which predict disease course in inflammatory bowel disease

Presents the current state-of-the art in the research strategies that are being applied to biomarker discovery
