We have read the article titled “The Role of C-RP / Albumin Ratio in The Diagnosis of Stroke and an Overview of the Factors Affecting Hemispheres” prepared by Tataroğlu and Güven with great interest1. We thank the authors and the editorial board for their courage in publishing this negative article that is informative and successful manuscript. As mentioned in an article published in nature, highlighting negative results will improve science2. We also would like to mention a few important points about systemic effects of inflammation and acute phase reactants.
