Evaluation of Sleep Apnea Related Inflammation With CRP, ESR and Neutrophil toLymphocyte Ratio

Summary

There is some evidence suggesting that OSA is associated with low level of systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. Low level systemic inflammation and subsequent vascular damage has been implicated as the underlying mechanism responsible for comorbidities. Detection of altered inflammatory markers in OSAS patients may predict the degree of nocturnal sleep disturbance and associated systemic inflammation and presence of comorbidities. Recently, novel inflammatory biomarkers, such as neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) have been proposed as an indicator of systemic inflammation. To our knowledge, NLR has not been studied in OSAS. We conducted the present study to evaluate the association between OSAS and inflammatory markers CRP, ESR and NLR.
