ASCA positive

Post by lpvoid »

Hi All,
I was diagnosed with Lympocitic Coltis based on colon histology (colonoscopy, small bowel MR scan, and calprotectin levels were OK) But it turns out that my ASCA (IgA,IgG) levels are elevated. I've read this almost 100% specific for Crohns.
It there anyone else who is ASCA positive microscopic coltis case?

I am ASCA negative. I imagine many people here were never tested for ASCA because that association is relatively new (last 10 years?).

I was never tested.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
