Background: In the follow-up of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Tc-99m-HMPAO labelled leukocytes scintigraphy (leukocyte scan; LS) has long been established as a valuable diagnostic tool. The aim of this study was to estimate the relationship between scintigraphic results, inflammatory markers (IM) (including white blood cells (WBCs) and C-reactive protein (CRP)), clinical parameters and clinical indices of the disease activity (CI), in order to determine clinical settings in which LS is indicated.

Materials And Methods: A total of 147 patients who underwent LS, (79 males, 68 females, median age 36), were examined from April 2010 until December 2017 at the University Hospital Centre Zagreb, Croatia.
