Turkey: Increased serum C‐reactive protein (CRP) to albumin ratio (CAR) is associated with increased erectile dysfunction (ED) risk and its severity, according to a recent study in the journal Andrologia.
"The results indicate that CAR levels may be useful in assessing ED risk as an inflammatory marker and play an important role in ED etiology," wrote the authors.
Selamettin Demir and İrfan Şafak Barlas from Van Training and Research Hospital, Edremit, Turkey aimed to evaluate whether an independent indicator of erectile dysfunction is C‐reactive protein/albumin ratio.
