Evaluation of Serum Leucine-Rich Alpha-2 Glycoprotein as a New Inflammatory Biomarker of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Table 2

Correlation coefficients and significance of differences in the levels of serum LRG and laboratory parameters between patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.

	Ulcerative colitis		Crohn’s disease
Hemoglobin	-0.174	0.086	-0.407	<0.001
Albumin	-0.490	<0.001	-0.556	<0.001
CRP	0.647	<0.001	0.627	<0.001

LRG: leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein; CRP: C-reactive protein. Correlation analysis was performed using Spearman’s rank correlation test.
