CRP and atherosclerosis: When patients with ulcerative colitis only and atherosclerosis only were compared, values of CRP (p = 0.000), transferrin saturation (p = 0.000), Ag PLT ADP (p = 0.000), leukocyte (p = 0.001) and fecal calprotectin (p = 0.000) were significantly higher in patients with ulcerative colitis only.
