Detailed Description
Descriptive study, in which the haemostatic profile of ambulatory patients with IBD will be analyzed by rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) and other techniques, such as thrombin generation test and platelet function study by flow cytometry. The results of these measurements will be subsequently compared between the different IBD patient groups, stratified by activity and other risk factors, as well as with healthy controls, in order to define in which of these situations a significant prothrombotic risk exists, and which part of the coagulation cascade conditions that risk. After this, we will describe the incidence and prevalence of thromboembolic events in the follow-up of these patient groups. Finally, an attempt will be made to determine, according to the results of the study if any of the situations outside the classic recommendations would be subsidiary to receive chemoprophylaxis for the thromboembolic events.
The aim of this study is to determine the possible state of hypercoagulability of ambulatory patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, stratified according to the characteristics of their disease, by using ROTEM as well as the thrombin generation test. Platelet function will also be evaluated by flow cytometry.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Group 1 Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease patients, in remission according to inclusion criteria |
Procedure: rotational thromboelastometry
Viscoelastometric method useful to study the kinetics of clot formation and fibrinolysis, providing a global information of both the cellular component and the pro and anticoagulant proteins, as well as the interactions between both components.

Procedure: rotational thromboelastometry
Viscoelastometric method useful to study the kinetics of clot formation and fibrinolysis, providing a global information of both the cellular component and the pro and anticoagulant proteins, as well as the interactions between both components.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Platelet Function [Baseline]
Platelet activation will be evaluated by flow cytometry through analysis of fibrinogen (Fg) receptor activation and by exposure of P-selectin and CD63 on the surface of the platelets, in the basal state and after activation with thrombin receptor agonists.
- Protein expression on Platelets Surface [Baseline]
Calibrated Automated Thrombogram (CAT) will be used to measure thrombin generation. CAT is a fluorimetric method that quantifies the amount of thrombin generated in a plasma sample after activation of the coagulation
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Thromboembolic Events [Baseline]
Thromboembolic events are one of the leading causes of mortality in Inflammatory Bowel Disease, and can occur in any of its subtypes. The most frequent are deep vein thrombosis of lower limbs and pulmonary thromboembolism.
