There was also a highly statistically significant difference between UC, CD groups as regards incidence of diabetes (P = 0.004), musculoskeletal complications (P = 0.006), Hematocrit (P = 0.041), CRP (P <0.001) and ESR (P = 0.023) with high level in CD group and as regards patients on salicalyates (P = 0.002) with a high level in UC (Table 1). Here, CRP is linked to diabetes mellitus.
