No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate systemic inflammation in individuals with lipedema using hematological and biochemical inflammation indices and to examine the relationship between these indices and clinical findings. Additionally, the study aims to evaluate whether systemic inflammatory markers serve as objective biomarkers reflecting lipedema progression and clinical severity, and to assess their practical applicability in clinical practice.

Hypothesis: Systemic inflammation markers are higher in the lipedema group compared to healthy controls, and these markers are associated with clinical severity.

Clinical parameters

Demographic and clinical data will be recorded. From the existing laboratory parameters in the system for all participants, the parameters suitable for the study, as described below, will be recorded. Blood tests will not be requested from participants. Only lipedema patients will be asked to complete the scales; in addition to clinical parameters, an ultrasound evaluation will be performed on lipedema patients. No invasive procedures or treatments will be administered to the patients. For all participants, the following laboratory parameters will be recorded: in the complete blood count, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, platelets, red blood cell distribution width , and mean platelet volume ; and in the biochemical analysis, C-reactive protein , erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and albumin levels.
