CRP/ALBUMİN AND INFLAMMATORY INDEX PARAMETERS IN INDIVIDUALS WITH OLIGOCLONAL BAND POSITIVITY IN CSF AND DIAGNOSED WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

 

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic demyelinating Disease of the central nervous system that progresses with attacks and remissions caused by genetic and environmental factors. Low-grade systemic inflammation is suggested to contributed to pathogenesis. It is important to recognize MS at an early stage as it causes disability and cognitive impairment. Therefore, for a rapid and accurate diagnosis, it is necessary to evaluate the role of easily accessibl, non-invasive parameters in clinical laboratories in the diagnosis of MS.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the performance of CRP/albumin ratio, RDW and MPV, and inflammatory indices obtained from hemogram results in the diagnosis of MS.

Materials and Methods: Our study included 164 patients who were diagnosed with MS 134 healthy subject as control group. Absolute neutrophil, lymphocyte and platelet counts and CRP/albumin, neutrophil/lymphocyte (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte (TLR), systemic immune-inflammatory (SII) and systemic inflammatory response (SIRI) indices of the patient group at the time of diagnosis were evaluated.

Hemogram was performed using the Sysmex XN-1000,CRP and albumin tests were performed using the Roche cobas-8000 autoanalyzer.

Statistical analysis were performed using GraphPad Prism 5. The Student's t-test compared group means, Pearson correlation assessed variable relationships, and ROC analysis evaluated parameters for MS diagnosis. Significance was set at p < 0.05

Results and Conclusions: The levels of CRP (p=0.02), neutrophil (p<0.0001), MPV p=0.04) in the MS group, NLR (p<0.0001), TLR (p=0.0004), SII (p<0.0001), SIRI ( p<0,0001 ) and CRP/albumin (p=0.015) ratios were significantly higher than the control group, while albumin levels  p<0.0001) were significantly lower. In the ROC analysis performed for all parameters, the area under the curve was found to be the highest for NLR (AUC: 0.7340, 95% CI: 0.6788-0.7891, p<0.0001).

 It is thought that the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio can be used as a useful biomarker in the diagnosis of MS.
