Özet: Objective: Oxidative stress and antioxidant deficiency play key roles in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal damage associated with Crohn's disease (CD). Serum bilirubin, uric acid (UA) and albumin are non-enzymatic antioxidants that play a role in oxidative stress control. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the change in serum bilirubin, UA and albumin levels due to disease activity. Material and Method: This study was designed as a single-center, cross-sectional and retrospective. The clinical and demographic data of the patients, disease activity, as well as serum albumin, UA, and bilirubin values were recorded from the hospital database. Study variables were statistically analyzed between patient and control groups based on disease activity. Results: A total of 234 people, 114 with CD and 120 with controls, were included in the study. Total bilirubin, direct bilirubin and albumin levels were found to be significantly lower in the CD than in the health control (p=0.045, p<0.001, p<0.001). There was a significant difference in total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, indirect bilirubin and albumin levels between the control group and active CD (p=0.009; p=0.001; p=0.037; p=<0.001); no significant difference with the UA level (p=0.992). There was a significant difference in direct bilirubin levels between the control group and remission CD (p=0.005); no difference in total bilirubin, indirect bilirubin, albumin, and UA levels (p=0.263; p=0.440; p=0.112; p=0.365, respectively). Conclusion: Antioxidant capacity reaches levels similar to the healthy population in patients who achieve remission with medical treatment.
