Abstract:
Introduction and objectives: Behcet’s disease (BD) is an autoimmune systemic inflammatory disease, and its exact pathogenesis is unknown. There are currently no specific tests to evaluate the disease activity of BD, making its management more difficult. This study aims to determine the neutrophil/albumin ratio (NAR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) to albumin ratio (CAR) and investigate their associations with clinical findings in patients with BD and to determine optimum cutoff levels of CAR and NAR. Methods: The study included 75 consecutively recruited patients with BD with a mean age of 33.29 ± 6.23years and disease duration of 7.21 ± 4.64 years, as well as 75 healthy participants. Clinical characteristics and laboratory data were obtained. Disease activity was assessed using the BD current activity form score (BDCAF). Results: NAR and CAR were elevated in patients with BD compared with those of healthy controls (NAR: 1.08 ± 0.34 vs. 0.607 ± 0.06, CAR: 2.49 ± 1.73 vs. 0.39 ± 0.142; p < 0.0001), as well as in active BD versus inactive BD. Both NAR and CAR were significantly correlated with CRP, active uveitis, and BDCAF score (p ≤ 0.05). In patients with active BD, the cutoff value of NAR was >0.9744 (sensitivity: 89.74%, specificity: 80.56%), while that of CAR was >2.04 (sensitivity: 74.36%, specificity: 83.33%). Conclusions: NAR and CAR are both elevated in patients with BD and may contribute to its active state. NAR and CAR can be feasible and inexpensive markers for predicting BD activity.
