It was shown that the duration of PMR symptoms was longer, and the rates of peripheral arthritis and anemia were lower in the patients with normal APR values.[17] In our study, the rate of patients with normal ESR and CRP values was 14%, these patients had longer durations of symptoms, none of them had peripheral arthritis, and there was no significant difference between the group with normal ESR and CRP values and the group with abnormal ESR and/or CRP values in terms of anemia. Here, CRP is linked to anemia.
