The relationship between the neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio and disease activity in patients with ulcerative colitis

Preliminary evidence suggests that a higher neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) may be an indicator of active ulcerative colitis (UC). However, it is not clear whether the NLR is a useful and simple indicator of clinical activity in UC after adjusting for the other inflammatory markers. We designed a...
