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

Figure 3 Correlation of each parameter with the endoscopic activity in the colon (n = 77). Endoscopic activity was assessed using modified simple endoscopic score for Crohn’s disease. All parameters showed relatively good correlations with endoscopic activity in the colon. A: Leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein; B: C-reactive protein; C: Albumin; D: Harvey-Bradshaw index. mSES-CD: Modified simple endoscopic score for Crohn’s disease; LRG: Leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein; CRP: C-reactive protein; HBI: Harvey-Bradshaw index.
