  1. *We collected 90 plasma and 90 urine samples from CD patients at the following times of sampling: at the time of recruitment (t0) and at 4, 8, 12 and 16 months from t0 (t1, t2, t3, and t4 respectively). 54 ileal and 54 colon–rectal biopsies were recruited at t0, t3 and t4 within the same cohort.
