    1. Increased WBCs
    2. ESR
    3. Fecal lactoferrin
    4. CRP
  2. What percentage of adults in the U.S. may develop IBD?
    1. 0.3%
    2. 1.3%
    3. 20%
    4. 50%
  3. Which of the following characteristics defines the most ideal fecal biomarker for IBD?
    1. Should be specific for any inflammation
    2. Should be specific for intestinal inflammation
    3. Should be robust with multiple cutoffs
    4. Should be measured from frozen samples
  4. Fecal calprotectin levels may
    1. Increase in infants
    2. Decrease in high BMI
    3. Increase in functional diseases
    4. Increase in smokers
  5. Fecal lactoferrin should not be used in what group?
    1. Elderly
    2. Healthy adults
    3. Teens
    4. Infants
  6. Which of the following would indicate Crohn’s disease?
    1. Positive fecal lactoferrin and positive ASCA
    2. Positive fecal lactoferrin and negative ASCA
    3. Positive fecal lactoferrin alone
    4. Positive calprotectin alone
  7. The gold standard for IBD diagnosis is
    1. Serum biomarker identification
    2. X-ray imaging
    3. Endoscopy with histology
    4. Clinical assessment
  8. Fecal biomarkers calprotectin and lactoferrrin are recommended for
    1. Diagnosis and management of CD and UC
    2. Management of IBS
    3. Diagnosis of other intestinal diseases
