This comprehensive and thorough book offers a comprehensive and in-depth examination of biomarkers in clinical practice for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), bringing together the literature in a clear and concise manner. The book fills the gap between expanding knowledge at the bench and the current and potential applications of biomarkers in clinical practice. The book's main structure focuses on prognostic and predictive biomarkers in IBD, with an emphasis on the research and scientific techniques (genomics, proteomics, and metabonomics) that have resulted in biomarker identification and contextualizes these biomarkers within a clinical setting to help understand their usefulness in clinical practice. This book will be useful to clinicians who are interested in using biomarkers in clinical practice, as well as clinician researchers and scientists involved in the biomarker research pipeline. The author team comprises experts from around the world 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.
