Elevated Levels of IL-27 Are Associated with Disease Activity in Patients with Crohn’s Disease

Figure 3

Correlation analysis between serum IL-27 levels and serum and fecal activity parameters in all CD patients (). (a) Correlation of serum IL-27 levels with C-reactive protein (CRP). (b) Correlation of serum IL-27 levels with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). (c) Correlation of serum IL-27 levels with platelet (PLT) counts. (d, e) Correlation of serum IL-27 levels with serum albumin (ALB) and hemoglobin (Hb). (f) Correlation of serum IL-27 levels with fecal calprotectin (FC). Spearman’s rank correlation test was used to assess the correlations between the different parameters.
