Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic, chronic inflammatory disease that primarily affects the large intestine. Coagulation abnormalities have been detected in UC patients. This study aimed to evaluate coagulation-related parameters in patients with UC.
A total of 364 UC patients were analyzed with 163 female and 201 male. Disease activity was determined according to the Truelove and Witts criteria. The fibrinogen (FIB), D-dimer, fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products (FDP), C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) levels were evaluated.
We found higher D-dimer, FDP, FIB levels in severe UC compared with non-severe patients.The area under the curve (AUC) of D-dimer was 0.852 (95% CI 0.805 to 0.898) and the optimum cut-off point was 0.585, with a sensitivity of 80.6% and a specificity of 78.9%. Furthermore, D-dimer and FIB are positively correlated with ESR and CRP levels.
Our results indicate that D-dimer, FDP, and FIB levels are potential biomarkers for disease severity in UC patients.
溃疡性结肠炎（UC）是一种主要影响大肠的特发性慢性炎症性疾病。在UC患者中已检测到凝血异常。本研究旨在评估UC患者的凝血相关参数。
共分析了364例UC患者，其中女性163例，男性201例。根据Truelove和Witts标准确定疾病活动度。评估纤维蛋白原（FIB）、D-二聚体、纤维蛋白/纤维蛋白原降解产物（FDP）、C反应蛋白（CRP）和红细胞沉降率（ESR）水平。
我们发现重度UC患者的D-二聚体、FDP、FIB水平高于非重度患者。D-二聚体的曲线下面积（AUC）为0.852（95%CI 0.805至0.898），最佳截断点为0.585，敏感性为80.6%，特异性为78.9%。此外，D-二聚体和FIB与ESR和CRP水平呈正相关。
我们的结果表明，D-二聚体、FDP和FIB水平是UC患者疾病严重程度的潜在生物标志物。
