dc.description.abstractBackground: It has been recently postulated that inflammation may have an effect on varicose vein development and prognosis, besides increased venous pressure. CRP/albumin (CAR) is a novel inflammatory marker associated with poor prognosis in a various group of patients. Our aim in this study was to investigate the relation between varicose greater saphenous vein (VSM) diameter and CAR. Methods: A total of 150 patients with patients VSM insufficiency (Group 1, n: 114) and normal VSM (n: 36) were included in the study. The diameter of the VSM was measured with B-mode ultrasound, and reflux was quantified based on valve closure time using Doppler spectral tracings. Blood samples were taken during recruitment. The CAR value is determined by dividing the serum CRP level to the albumin level. Results: There were 21 (18.4%) males and 93 (81.5%) females in Group 1 and 7 males and 29 females in Group 2. Mean age of the patients were similar in both groups (48.02 +/- 12.20 years in Group 1 vs. 44.9 +/- 8.92 years in Group 2, p = 0.44). Mean BMI of the patients did not differ significantly (Group 1: 26.4 +/- 3.7 kg/m2 vs. Group 2: 25.7 +/- 4.2 kg/m2, p = 0.13). The mean diameter of VSM was measured 5.70 +/- 0.29 mm in Group 1 whereas 3.21 +/- 0.34 mm in Group 2 (p = 0.0023). Mean CRP and albumin values in Group 1 were 6.18 +/- 4.99 mg/L and 4.45 +/- 0.27 g/dL whereas 4.25 +/- 2.46 mg/L and 6.18 +/- 1.14 g/dL in Group 2, respectively (p value for CRP = 0.049, p value for albumin = 0.074). CRP/albumin was 1.28 +/- 1.34 in Group 1 and 1.11 +/- 1.21 in Group 2, which was not statistically significant (p = 0.58). There was a positive moderately strong correlation between VSM diameter and CRP/albumin ratio as well as superficial venous reflux disease (r: 0.48). Conclusion: CRP/albumin ratio is associated with increased incidence of varicose veins and increased diame-ter of greater saphenous vein; hence, superficial venous reflux disease. The findings support the hypothesis that systemic inflammation may play a role in varicose vein disease.en_US
