Whilst inflammatory markers appeared not to differ between PCOS-nonGH, PCOS-GH, and PCOS-SGH, at the higher eGFR PCOS-SGH group, CRP correlated positively with eGFR suggesting that, at higher eGFR levels, inflammation may be involved in the underlying mechanism, though it is unclear if this is a primary or secondary factor. This evidence concerns the gene CRP and polycystic ovary syndrome.
