C-reactive protein levels in patients with osteoarthritis were significantly higher than control group.Although neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio value of osteoarthritis patients was moderate high compared to the control group was not statistically significant. </div> <div>Conclusion: Osteoarthritis has been increasingly recognized to include low grade inflammation, often subclinical. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio and mean platelet volume values are cheap and practical. But these rates to determine the severity of disease in patients with knee osteoarthritis are not considered as a suitable parameter in our study. </div> </div> <div> <br /> </div>}, number={2}, publisher={Çukurova Üniversitesi}
