What Laboratory Tests Are Used To Diagnose Crohn's Disease. What Is An SPF Test?

My son was very sick last summer and the tests were inconclusive for Crohn's Disease but they could not disqualify it. He recently got sick and his SPF test was very elevated. It was 5.1 and should be below 0.5 The doctor wants him to see specialist in Boston he saw last year. What is this test and what does it mean. She said his ESR was slightly elevated as well. I know what the ESR is but not the SPF. Could you tell me what it is?

    The SPF is not the international abbreviation of any test used for the Crohn's Disease. This test called sun protecting factor is used against the ultraviolet radiation. The Crohn's Disease is ideally diagnosed by colonoscopy, gastrography, Ct and MRI. Some laboratory blood tests are also used for differential diagnosis. For more details, visit Crohn's Disease.
