THE ROLE OF CRP / ALBUMIN RATIO IN THE CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME
Öz
Aim: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is the most common cause of mononeuropathy, the pathogenesis and natural course of which has not been fully understood.
Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, we aimed to collect data on the role of inflammation and oxidative stress in etiopathogenesis by determining the serum C-reactive protein (CRP) / albumin ratio according to the stage of patients with a CT diagnosis and to determine the possible effects of this ratio on the progression of the disease. Records of patients aged 18-65 who were admitted to our EMG outpatient clinic with a pre-diagnosis of CTS in the last six months of 2019 were collected. According to the neurological examination and EMG results, 50 control and 50 CTS patient records were collected.
Results: According to the EMG result, bilateral moderate CTS in 12, unilateral moderate CTS in 10, unilateral severe CTS in 15, bilateral severe CTS in 10, and bilateral mild CTS in 3. CRP, albumin and CRP / albumin ratio between the control group and stages of CTS were not statistically significant.
Conclusion: CRP / albumin ratio may return to normal in the subacute-chronic process since our patients don’t have acute CTS. Therefore, in the choice of treatment, analgesics with more analgesic properties rather than anti-inflammatory properties can be selected in the subacute and chronic process. This idea can be supported by increasing the number of patients in the acute process.
