WHAT IS CDPATH?
CDPATH uses blood tests and your doctor's evaluation of your disease to help predict your potential risk for developing serious Crohn's disease–related complications* within 3 years. Knowing your risk profile can help you and your doctor have a more informed discussion about the potential path for your Crohn's disease.
Individualized
Risk Profile
Risk assessment specific to your unique, individual case.
INNOVATIVE PREDICTIVE TOOL
CDPATH uses your doctor's evaluation of your Crohn's disease and information from your blood sample.
Should you and your doctor decide CDPATH is right for you, and you meet eligibility criteria, CDPATH is provided free of charge.
*CDPATH defines serious complications for patients with Crohn's disease as any fistulas or strictures in your bowels or any surgery in your bowels other than the area in or around the anus.
IS CDPATH RIGHT FOR ME?
Your doctor will determine if CDPATH is right for you. Understanding your potential risk for developing complications may help you and your doctor have an informed discussion about your Crohn's disease. Your doctor may include the result you get as part of the overall assessment of your Crohn's disease and disease management plan.
- CDPATH is not a replacement for your doctor's assessment, and it is not a requirement for your evaluation
- CDPATH is not a diagnosis or a disease-management plan
CDPATH provides information about your potential risk of developing complications defined as any fistulas† or strictures‡ in your bowels or any surgery in your bowels other than the area in or around the anus
†Abnormal connections that attach different parts of the intestine caused by deep sores or ulcers within your intestinal tract.
‡An obstruction or blockage that may arise from scar tissue formation. This makes the bowel wall thicker while narrowing the intestinal passage.
