Abstract

Background/aims: Serum leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein (LRG) is a potential biomarker of Crohn's disease (CD). This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of LRG in predicting clinical relapse in patients in remission with CD.

Methods: This retrospective observational study assessed the relationships among patient-reported outcome (PRO2), LRG, and other blood markers. The influence of LRG on clinical relapse was assessed in patients in remission with CD.

Results: Data of 94 patients tested for LRG between January 2021 and May 2023 were collected. LRG level did not correlate with PRO2 score (ρ = 0.06); however, it strongly correlated with C-reactive protein (CRP) level (r=0.79) and serum albumin level (r=-0.70). Among 69 patients in clinical remission, relapse occurred in 22 patients (31.9%). In the context of predicting relapse, LRG showed the highest area under the curve, followed by CRP level, platelet count, and albumin level. Multivariate analysis revealed that only LRG (P= 0.02) was an independent factor for predicting clinical remission. The cumulative non-relapse rate was significantly higher in patients with LRG < 13.8 μg/mL than in patients in remission with LRG ≥ 13.8 μg/mL and normal CRP level (P= 0.002) or normal albumin level (P= 0.001). Cumulative non-relapse rate was also higher in patients with LRG < 13.8 μg/mL compared to those with LRG ≥ 13.8 μg/mL in patients with L3 or B2+B3 of Montreal calcification.

Conclusions: LRG is useful in predicting clinical relapse in patients with CD during biological remission. LRG is a useful biomarker for predicting prognosis, even in patients with intestinal stenosis, or previous/present fistulas.

富亮氨酸α-2糖蛋白有助于预测克罗恩病患者在生物缓解期的临床复发。

背景/目的：血清富亮氨酸α-2糖蛋白（LRG）是克罗恩病（CD）的潜在生物标志物。本研究旨在评估富亮氨酸α-2糖蛋白在预测克罗恩病缓解期患者临床复发方面的作用：这项回顾性观察研究评估了患者报告结果（PRO2）、LRG和其他血液标记物之间的关系。评估了LRG对CD缓解期患者临床复发的影响：结果：收集了2021年1月至2023年5月期间检测LRG的94名患者的数据。LRG水平与PRO2评分无相关性（ρ=0.06）；但与C反应蛋白（CRP）水平（r=0.79）和血清白蛋白水平（r=-0.70）密切相关。在 69 名临床缓解的患者中，有 22 名患者（31.9%）复发。在预测复发方面，LRG 的曲线下面积最大，其次是 CRP 水平、血小板计数和白蛋白水平。多变量分析显示，只有 LRG（P= 0.02）是预测临床缓解的独立因素。LRG < 13.8 μg/mL患者的累积不复发率明显高于LRG ≥ 13.8 μg/mL且CRP水平正常（P= 0.002）或白蛋白水平正常（P= 0.001）的缓解期患者。在蒙特利尔钙化L3或B2+B3患者中，与LRG≥13.8 μg/mL的患者相比，LRG＜13.8 μg/mL的患者累积不复发率也更高：结论：LRG有助于预测CD患者在生物缓解期的临床复发。LRG是预测预后的有效生物标志物，即使是肠狭窄或以前/现在有瘘管的患者也是如此。

期刊介绍： Intestinal Research (Intest Res) is the joint official publication of the Asian Organization for Crohn''s and Colitis (AOCC), Chinese Society of IBD (CSIBD), Japanese Society for IBD (JSIBD), Korean Association for the Study of Intestinal Diseases (KASID), Taiwan Society of IBD (TSIBD) and Colitis Crohn''s Foundation (India) (CCF, india). The aim of the Journal is to provide broad and in-depth analysis of intestinal diseases, especially inflammatory bowel disease, which shows increasing tendency and significance. As a Journal specialized in clinical and translational research in gastroenterology, it encompasses multiple aspects of diseases originated from the small and large intestines. The Journal also seeks to propagate and exchange useful innovations, both in ideas and in practice, within the research community. As a mode of scholarly communication, it encourages scientific investigation through the rigorous peer-review system and constitutes a qualified and continual platform for sharing studies of researchers and practitioners. Specifically, the Journal presents up-to-date coverage of medical researches on the physiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentations, and therapeutic interventions of the intestinal diseases. General topics of interest include inflammatory bowel disease, colon and small intestine cancer or polyp, endoscopy, irritable bowel syndrome and other motility disorders, infectious enterocolitis, intestinal tuberculosis, and so forth. The Journal publishes diverse types of academic materials such as editorials, clinical and basic reviews, original articles, case reports, letters to the editor, brief communications, perspective, statement or commentary, and images that are useful to clinicians and researchers.
