Values are expressed as the or median (IQR). UC: ulcerative colitis; BMI: body mass index; ESR: erythrocyte sedimentation rate; CRP: C-reactive protein; ALB: albumin; MCV: mean corpuscular volume; RDW: red cell distribution width; MPV: mean platelet volume; NLR: neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio; PLR: platelet to lymphocyte ratio; LMR: lymphocyte to monocyte ratio.
