BACKGROUND: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology associated with insulin resistance (IR) and additional cardiovascular threats. Both disorders have inflammation as a key factor in their development. The NLR and PLR have been identified along with other inflammation indices that may be important in elucidating RA and IR's disease
activity and inflammatory processes.
