Background: The aim of the present paper was to determine the mechanism by which the level of coagulation factor XIIIA declines during the active phase of Crohn's disease.
Methods: The relationship between the activity of Crohn's disease and factor XIIIA was observed in 31 patients with Crohn's disease prospectively. The relationship between factor XIIIA and thrombin-antithrombin III complex (TAT), factor XIIIA expressed on the surface of peripheral monocytes, was also evaluated.
