C-reactive protein
upin humans1
C-reactive protein predicts carotid atherosclerotic plaques in humans.
“Fibrinogen and CRP performed well, but with lesser significance, as predictors of the presence of carotid plaques (p = 0.002).”

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio
upin humans1
Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio predicts carotid atherosclerotic plaques in humans (80% probability at NLR >2.4; 97% probability at NLR >3.68).
“NLR > 2.4 predicted with 80% probability carotid plaques (p < 0.01), while NLR > 3.68 gave 97% probability (p = 0.013).”
