Monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein ratio and systemic immune-inflammation index: Potential parameters for the evaluation of disease activity and severity in Graves ’ ophthalmopathy?

ConclusionGO patients have higher MHR and SII levels than healthy controls. Higher MHR, NLR and SII values were associated with increasing disease severity and activity, supporting the efficacy of these non-invasive, low-cost markers in determining the course of GO. Future prospective controlled trials are needed to elucidate the relation between inflammatory markers and GO.
