Abstract excerpt
In the present study, cardiovascular risk indices (Atherogenic Index of Plasma [AIP], Atherogenic Coefficient [AC], Castelli Risk Index-1 [CRI-1], and Castelli Risk Index-2 [CRI-2]) and bone mineral density (BMD SDS) were evaluated in patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF), and the association of these parameters with disease severity and MEFV gene mutations was investigated. A total of 126 participants...
