To describe the quantitative variables, the median (Me) and interquartile range (RI) were used. CRP: C-reactive protein. NLR (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio). LMR (lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio). PLR (platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio). n * of the stimulated group changes because the stimulation with probiotics produces a decrease in the endoscopic and histological severity of diversion colitis.
