Prostaglandin E-major urinary metabolite (PGE-MUM) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are useful biomarkers in patients with ulcerative colitis. However, whether changes in endoscopic scores over time are reflected in the values of these biomarkers has not been verified. This prospective observational study aimed to assess the relationship between changes in biomarker levels and endoscopic scores in patients with ulcerative colitis. A total of 100 colonoscopy intervals of patients with ulcerative colitis were enrolled. The relationship between variations in the Mayo endoscopic subscore over time and the accompanying changes in biomarker values were investigated. PGE-MUM levels showed a significant rise in the increased endoscopic score group (P = 0.007) and a decrease with reduced endoscopic score group (P = 0.023). CRP levels showed a significant decline with lower endoscopic values (P < 0.001); however, there was no corresponding increase with higher endoscopic scores (P = 0.141). Biomarker levels remained unchanged with stable endoscopic scores (P = 0.090 and P = 0.705). PGE-MUM levels varied significantly, and corresponded to the mucosal healing state (P = 0.019 and P = 0.009). The correlation between changes in PGE-MUM and the endoscopic score was stronger than that for CRP (r = 0.518, P < 0.001 vs. r = 0.444, P < 0.001, respectively). PGE-MUM reflected changes in endoscopic scores more accurately than CRP.
