Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Predict Mucosal Disease Severity in Ulcerative Colitis

Abstract

This is the first study that investigated the use of NLR and PLR combination to assess endoscopic disease severity in UC. Either high NLR or PLR levels can predict active endoscopic disease. However, the use of these parameters in combination is more accurate in evaluating mucosal disease and inflammation in UC.
