Diagnostic utility of the neutrophil-platelet ratio as a novel marker of activity in patients with Ulcerative Colitis.

The NeuPla ratio showed an adequate diagnostic utility to identify UC patients with clinical and endoscopy activity without the use of invasive studies like a colonoscopy or expensive fecal biomarkers such as calprotectin and have a better diagnostic performance in comparison to other serum biomarkers (C reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and albumin).
