ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Background Procalcitonin may be increased in active ulcerative colitis (UC). We investigated the role of procalcitonin in predicting response in acute severe UC (ASUC). Methods Consecutive patients with ASUC diagnosed on basis of Truelove and Witts criteria were enrolled. Serum procalcitonin levels for consecutive patients were measured at admission and day 3. We assessed role of procalcitonin values at presentation and at day 3 in assessing response on day 3 (Oxford's criteria) and need for second line therapy (day 28). Results Of fifty patients (23 males, mean age 35.98±13.8 years), 16 did not respond (day 3). Ten (20%) patients required second-line therapy. Baseline procalcitonin was significantly associated with response on day 3 (P=0.016). There was no association between day 1 or day 3 procalcitonin and need for second-line rescue therapy. Conclusion Serial procalcitonin is not an effective biomarker for predicting outcomes or need for second line therapy in ASUC.
RESUMO
RESUMO Contexto A procalcitonina pode estar aumentada em colite ulcerativa ativa. Investigamos o papel da procalcitonina na previsão de resposta na colite ulcerativa aguda grave. Métodos Foram inscritos pacientes consecutivos com colite ulcerativa aguda grave diagnosticados com base nos critérios de Truelove e Witts. Os níveis de procalcitonina sérica dos pacientes foram medidos consecutivamente na internação e no terceiro dia. Avaliamos o papel dos valores procalcitonina na apresentação e na avaliação da resposta no terceiro dia (critérios de Oxford) e necessidade de terapia de segunda linha (dia 28). Resultados Dos 50 pacientes (23 homens, idade média 35,98±13,8 anos), 16 não responderam (terceiro dia). Dez pacientes (20%) necessitaram de terapia de segunda linha. A procalcitonina de linha de base foi significativamente associada à resposta no terceiro dia (P=0,016). Não houve associação entre o primeiro dia ou o terceiro dia de procalcitonina e necessidade de terapia de resgate de segunda linha. Conclusão A procalcitonina sérica não é um biomarcador eficaz para prever desfechos ou necessidade de terapia de segunda linha em colite ulcerativa aguda grave.
