We also observed correlations between ENR and CK (r = 0.289 and 0.332, both P < 0.01), LDH (r = 0.287 and 0.295, both P < 0.05), ALT (r = 0.343 and 0.296, P < 0.01 and P < 0.05), AST (r = 0.419 and 0.442, both P < 0.001), CRP (r = 0.329 and 0.357, both P < 0.01), ESR (r = 0.362 and 0.400, both P < 0.01), and NLR (r = 0.207 and 0.291, both P < 0.05) in patients with IIMs and DM. This evidence concerns the gene CRP and dermatomyositis.
