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.
