The IBD Panel checks your blood for markers that may be linked to inflammatory bowel disease. It is also called an Inflammatory Bowel Disease Panel or IBD serology. Some labs list parts of it as a Crohn’s and Colitis Antibody Panel. You can book at participating labs on LabFinder and pick a time that fits your day.
This panel, sometimes called Crohn’s and Colitis Antibody testing or IBD serology panel, looks for certain antibodies and inflammation markers in your blood. Results can give clues that point toward Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis and help your doctor decide on next steps.
Common reasons: long lasting belly pain, diarrhea, or blood in the stool. Flares: checking signs of active inflammation when symptoms worsen. Nutrient concerns: weight loss or anemia without a clear cause. Follow up: part of a workup your doctor orders while ruling in or out IBD.
Check in with your ID and lab order. A staff member cleans a spot on your arm and draws a small tube of blood. You may feel a quick pinch. A bandage is placed and you can leave right after. Plan for about 10 to 20 minutes at the lab.
Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable.
Food: fasting is usually not needed unless your doctor says so. Medications and supplements: bring a list and follow your doctor’s directions, since some medicines can affect immune tests. Biotin: avoid high dose biotin for 24 hours unless told otherwise. Hydration and activity: drink water and avoid very hard exercise right before your draw. Bring any prior results if you have them.
Doctors may use this test while checking Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, anemia linked to inflammation, ongoing belly pain or diarrhea, and possible flare activity. Results must be read in context. Your doctor will review your results with your history and symptoms before recommending next steps.
