About this study

Currently, the pathophysiology of Irritable bowel syndrome( IBS) remains unclear . The purpose of this study is want to investigate the immunological changes in the children with IBS.

Read the detailed description

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a highly prevalent functional gastrointestinal disorder.Many children suffered from this disease and had impact on their daily life. However, the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms remain to be elucidate. Dysregulation of the gut immune system is considered an important pathophysiology. We want to investigate the immunological changes in the IBS children.
