Leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein as a superior biomarker to C-reactive protein for detecting small bowel lesions in Crohn’s disease

Figure 2 Comparison of each parameter among the endoscopic healing (n = 61), ileal (n = 43), colonic (n = 16), and ileocolonic groups (n = 13). ^aP < 0.05; ^bP < 0.01; ^cP < 0.001. The endoscopic healing group exhibited significantly different leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein, C-reactive protein, albumin, and Harvey-Bradshaw index compared with the ileal, colonic, and ileocolonic groups. A: Leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein; B: C-reactive protein; C: Albumin; D: Harvey-Bradshaw index. LRG: Leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein; EH: Endoscopic healing; CRP: C-reactive protein; HBI: Harvey-Bradshaw index.
