Abstract

In recent years, studies have found that the ratio of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, platelet to lymphocyte ratio, lymphocyte to monocyte ratio, CRP to albumin ratio, and other comprehensive indicators derived from peripheral blood parameters are valuable for the evaluation and differential diagnosis of disease activity. This article provides an overview of the use of ratios of several peripheral blood parameters in the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease activity.
