This study shows that urinary metabolic profiling is able to find significant differences between HC, AD and SUDD. In particular, it interesting to note that the only two metabolites that significantly differed between two of the three groups, namely hippurate and methanol, seem to have a profiling opposite than in IBD. Why this occurs is unknown, but it clearly identifies a different metabolic profile not only when compared with healthy people, but also when compared with other inflammatory intestinal conditions, such as IBD.
