Cytokines are key mediators of the inflammation in ulcerative colitis (UC); there are inconsistent data on cytokines profile in patients with UC. C‐reactive protein/albumin ratio (CRP/ALB) has also been found as an inflammatory indicator. However, the role of CRP/ALB in UC remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate the CRP/ALB ratio and cytokines profile in patients with UC. We further explore the association between CRP/ALB and inflammatory markers, such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), fecal calprotectin (FC) and cytokines.
