C-reactive protein/albumin ratio is a predictive factor for prognosis in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
To evaluate the effect of pretreatment C-reactive protein/albumin ratio and modified Glasgow prognostic score on the prognosis in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. ⋯ The C-reactive protein/albumin ratio is a simple and independent predictor of overall survival in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. The predictive activity was significantly improved in the International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium-C-reactive protein/albumin ratio model compared with the International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium/International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium-modified Glasgow prognostic score models.
