There has been an increasing awareness and recognition of eosinophilic esophagitis (EE), a chronic condition with periods of exacerbation and remission, over the last decade. The complex pathophysiology of EE and eosinophil physiology provide several candidate biomarkers that could be studied on various noninvasively obtained body specimens. This article reviews several potential noninvasive biomarkers of EE.
在过去十年中,人们对嗜酸性粒细胞性食管炎(EE)这一具有病情加重和缓解期的慢性疾病的认识和关注度不断提高。EE复杂的病理生理学和嗜酸性粒细胞生理学提供了几种候选生物标志物,可在各种非侵入性获取的人体标本上进行研究。本文综述了EE的几种潜在非侵入性生物标志物。
