ABSTRACT
The treatment of patients with inflammatory bowel disease has become more complex in recent years through the introduction of various immunosuppressive agents as well as the approval of monoclonal antibodies. Patients receiving such treatment must be carefully monitored. National and international guidelines define a diagnostic and therapeutic context for the practitioner, but can only partially respond to specific questions on the procedure for individual patients. Within the framework of a project initiated by Abbott entitled "IBD ahead" 34 German IBD experts have elaborated concrete proposals for the utility of clinical symptom assessment, endoscopy and the use of laboratory parameters including foecal markers of inflammation. Furthermore, we discuss the significance of conventional X-rays, computed tomography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance tomography. These recommendations are illustrated by case studies from everyday practice in the participating centres.
