Fecal lactoferrin accurately reflects mucosal inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease

Figure 2 Biomarker levels according to disease severity measured by Disease Activity Index in ulcerative colitis patients. Analysis of variance was used on natural log-transformed values of fecal lactoferrin, white blood cell and C-reactive protein to determine whether median values significantly varied according to Disease Activity Index scores. Fecal lactoferrin (A) and C-reactive protein (B) showed correlation with Disease Activity Index categories. WBC median values were similar across all categories (C). DAI: Disease Activity Index; WBC: White blood cell; CRP: C-reactive protein.
