Serum LRG levels are positively associated with endoscopic activity in patients with ulcerative colitis [UC]. [A] Serum LRG levels of patients with UC were plotted according to the Matts’ grade: 1 [n = 16], 2 [n = 43], 3 [n = 35], and 4 [n = 35]. [B] Serum CRP levels of patients with UC were plotted according to the Matts’ grade: 1 [n = 16], 2 [n = 41], 3 [n = 34], and 4 [n = 35], p < 0.001, by the Kruskal–Wallis test. In [A] and [B], differences in each Matts’ grade between LRG and CRP levels were also analysed by the Steel–Dwass test; **p < 0.001, #p < 0.05.
