Abstract
Patients in clinical remission from UC still frequently have histologic features of inflammation, which correlate with endoscopic appearance. Patients with at least moderate levels of inflammation, based on histologic grading (score >3.1), have higher serum levels of C-reactive protein, which could be used as a surrogate marker of histologic inflammation.
