The relationship between C-reactive protein/albumin ratio and radiological findings in patients with COVID-19

Öz

Aim: Our aim in this study is to determine the C-reactive protein/Albumin ratio (CAR) values of computed tomography (CT) -positive COVID-19 patients and CT-negative COVID-19 patients who are Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) and to investigate the relationship between C-reactive protein / Albumin ratio and radiological images of RT-PCR positive patients. Material and Methods: 100 RT-PCR positive COVID-19 patients over the age of 18 were included in our study. C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin levels, other data and lung CT scan were collected. The patients were divided into two sections: CT-positive and CT-negative. The relationship between CT and CAR was investigated in patients with and excluding comorbidity. Results: The measured CRP levels and CAR in the CT-positive group were significantly higher than CT-negative group (37.76±64, 9.05±22, p <0.05, 11.8±23.2, 2.12±5.42, p <0.05). The measured albumin levels CT-positive group were significantly lower than CT-negative group (4.12±0.63, 4.53±0.36, p <0.05). When we evaluate patients without comorbidity the measured CRP levels and CAR in the CT-positive group were significantly higher than CT-negative group (15.94±19.2, 6.07±7.38, p <0.05, 4.57±6.82, 1.38±1.75, p <0.05). Although the albumin values of CT-positive patients were lower than those of CT-negative patients, no statistically significance was found. Conclusion: In general, we found that CAR levels in CT-positive patients were significantly higher than in CT-negative patients. However, when we exclude the comorbidity, it should be taken into account that the ratio of C-reactive protein/albumin decreases. It can be considered that CT can be used as a leading marker to show lung involvement in cases where it is contraindicated (such as pregnancy) or to show possible increase in parenchymal involvement in patients with lung involvement.
