Although no specific thresholds for other inflammation-based ratios have been established in large-vessel vasculitis yet, the median values of other inflammation-based ratios, like the ESR/CRP ratio with 2.35 and the AST/ALT ratio with 1.20, were also higher in our GCA cohort, suggesting residual or subclinical inflammatory activity, despite clinical remission. This evidence concerns the gene ESR1 and temporal arteritis.
