Evaluation of preoperative C-reactive protein: Albumin ratio in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

2018 
690Background: Multiple inflammatory markers have been evaluated in predicting preoperative risk in patient’s undergoing curative nephrectomy for Clear cell renal cell carcinoma. We propose that ratio of C-Reactive Protein to albumin (CA-ratio) would prove to be a good prognostic indicator for assessment of overall survival and comparable to established nomograms in clear call RCC. Methods: Patients that underwent nephrectomy for localized clear cell RCC between 2007 and 2016 were retrospectively identified. The optimal threshold for individual biomarkers among the panel was determined using grid search methodology, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, and sensitivity-specificity trade-off analysis. Prognostic value of CA-ratio was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional regression models. ROC and chi-square analyses were performed to compare the predictive ability of CA-ratio to SSIGN, and UISS. Results: Among the 433 clear cell RCC patients treated with nephrectomy, mean...
