C-Reactive Protein/Albumin Ratio and Acne Vulgaris

Relationships Between Disease Severity and The C-Reactive Protein/Albumin Ratio and Various Hematological Parameters in Patients With Acne Vulgaris

Objective: Acne vulgaris, an inflammatory disease, was investigated in this study with the claim that C-reactive protein (CRP) / albumin ratio and some hematological parameter ratios have the potential to be used as inflammatory markers to monitor disease severity and prognosis.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with two groups of patients aged 18-65 years, 61 patients diagnosed with acne vulgaris and 35 healthy control patients, and routine hemogram and biochemical parameters were compared. The Global Acne Severity Index was used to determine the severity of acne vulgaris.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Acne vulgaris patients diagnosed by a dermatologist
• Healthy participants without acne
• 18-40 years of age
• Voluntary participation

Exclusion Criteria:

• Aged below18 or above 40 years
• Not voluntarily participated patents
