ABSTRACT

Purpose:

To evaluate whether the C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin ratio (CAR) in patients with uveitis during an attack is a marker that can give information about the activity, severity and prognosis of the disease.

Methods:

This study included 35 patients with an uveitis attack and 35 healthy volunteers. The localization and severity of uveitis were recorded. Patients' complete blood count (CBC) during the attack, CRP, CAR, erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio(NLR), and platelet/lymphocyte ratio(PLR) were recorded.

Results:

The mean age was 34.1 ± 12.5 years for the 35 uveitis cases and 30.1 ± 4.1 years for the healthy volunteers. CRP and CAR were significantly higher in uveitis patients (p = .015 and 0.011, respectively). While CRP and CAR were significantly higher in severe anterior uveitis than mild anterior uveitis (p = .036 and 0.022, respectively), only CAR was significantly higher in severe posterior and panuveitis than mild ones(p = .017).

Conclusion:

CAR may be an important parameter in determining the activation of the uveitis.
