Methods of identifying Crohn's disease patients who may require early surgery and/or who are susceptible to developing complications during the course of disease. Anti-laminarin (anli-L) and anti-chitin (anti-C) antibodies, both independently and combined, can serve as diagnostic and prognostic indices for Crohn's disease.
