Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Inclusion criteria: 1. Patients * 18 years 2. Diagnosis of IBD, based on a combination of history, physical examination, family history, laboratory tests, endoscopy tests including histopathologic examination of mucosal biopsies, imaging studies and occasionally intraoperative findings 3. Written informed consent 4. The clinical indication for an endoscopy (ileo-, colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy), independent of this study 5. Active disease, defined by either clinical or biochemical and endoscopic signs: 5.1 Clinical OR biochemical: 5.1.1 Clinical: CD: Harvey Bradshaw index (HBI) > 4.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Primary objective: 1.2 To assess the correlation of protein profiles between intestinal tissue and serum in patients with IBD | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 2. Secondary Objectives: 2.1 To identify the source matrix that has the highest chance to yield clinically relevant IBD biomarkers in future research 2.2 To identify putative candidate biomarkers that are able to: 2.2.1 differentiate between IBD and non-IBD controls 2.2.2 differentiate between CD and UC 2.2.3 identify subgroups within the patients groups of CD or UC in alignment with endoscopic severity. 2.3 To identify possible targets for the future development of therapeutic compounds | — |
