Objectives: This study aims to investigate whether clinical measures of disease activity and function in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are associated with matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase -1 (TIMP-1), and if MMPs can be more useful than C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate in predicting disease activity in AS. Patients and methods: MMP-3, MMP-9 and TIMP-1 levels were measured by ELISA in 20 patients with AS, 20 patients with IBD, 20 patients with IBD and AS (35 males, 25 females; mean age 38.1 years; range 19 to 62 years), and 20 healthy volunteers (10 males, 10 females; median age 38.5 years; range 24 to 63 years) as a control group. Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index, Truelove-Witts activity criteria for ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's Disease of Activity Index scoring systems were used. Results: Highest MMP-3 level was in IBD group (33.51±59.56 ng/mL, p
