  Fig. 1. Baseline urinary biomarkers for active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), inactive IBD, non-IBD, healthy sibling (HS), and celiac disease (CeD) groups. (A) Urinary chitinase 3-like 1 standardized with creatinine (CHI3L1:Cr). (B) Urinary intestinal fatty-acid binding protein standardized with creatinine (I-FABP:Cr). Horizontal line represents median urinary level. Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare multiple groups, no statistical difference (P>0.05) was identified across groups in both urinary biomarkers (A and B).
