P618 The relationship between disease severity, quality of life and health care resource utilization among United Kingdom patients with ulcerative colitis

Conclusions: Urinary metabolic profiling has shown distinct differences in South Asian IBD patients and controls, as has been previously shown in Caucasian studies. However, no difference in urinary hippurate was found between South Asian Crohn’s disease and UC patients, contrary to findings in Caucasians. Nor could these groups be distinguished using multivariate analysis. Some changes in the discriminatory metabolites are similar to those in Caucasian IBD but some are different suggesting an effect of ethnicity on the metabolic profile, which will be further investigated.
