Inflammation level and renal function injury in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis: a correlation with low albumin and high-density lipoprotein

To explore the correlation of inflammation level and organ involvement in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) patients with Alb and HDL. Serum levels of Alb and HDL were measured, with AAV patients being grouped according to serum Alb and HDL levels, and indicators reflecting inflammation and renal injury were compared. Serum levels of creatinine (Cr), uric acid and CRP and renal involvement rates were higher in lower Alb patients; Cr, CRP, renal and cardiovascular involvement rates in lower HDL patients were higher. Alb and HDL were negatively correlated with CRP and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Serum Alb and HDL were good indictors for disease monitoring in AAV.
