Core Tip |
Chronic enteropathy associated with SLCO2A1 gene (CEAS) is a rare hereditary enteropathy associated with a gene encoding a prostaglandin transporter. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish CEAS from Crohn’s disease (CD), because these diseases share some clinical features. We report the usefulness of prostaglandin E-major urinary metabolites (PGE-MUM) to differentiate CEAS from CD. PGE-MUM concentration was significantly higher in CEAS than in CD, and optimal cut-off value for the distinction of CEAS from CD to be 48.9 μg/g × Cre with sensitivity of 95.0% and specificity of 79.6%. In clinical practice, PGE-MUM measurement might be useful as a screening test for CEAS. |
