Evaluation of the uric acid and hematological parameters in patients with nodal hand osteoarthritis

Objectives: To compare patients with symptomatic nodal hand osteoarthritis (OA) a control group in respect of inflammation parameters, uric acid, and hematological parameters. Methods: The study included 50 post-menopausal female patients, aged 40-80 years, diagnosed OA, females the same age range no OA. Patient data including age, monocyte, neutrophil, lymphocyte, thrombocyte counts, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) level, acid Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) score obtained from evaluations radiographs, were recorded retrospectively hospital information system. neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte (PLR), monocyte-lymphocyte (MLR) calculated. compared between two groups. Results: 100 compared, comprising patient females. Age, NLR, PLR, MLR, ESR, CRP, level compared. With exception MLR statistically significant difference was determined to be significantly higher than (p = 0.024). ESR p < 0.001). When KL 2 3 other determined. Patients seen older 0.032). Conclusions: Clarification relationship inflammation, which is heterogeneous disease, will useful follow-up treatment patients.
