Abstract: 
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), an endocrine disorder has been associated with low-grade inflammation based on increased levels of several inflammatory mediators. Aim of the study was to assess the inflammatory markers in women with PCOS and their correlation with each other. Various inflammatory markers, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, hsC-reactive protein and CRP albumin ratio were found to be increased in women with PCOS in the study. Early detection of raised levels of inflammatory markers may help early diagnosis of PCOS and prevent development of metabolic syndrome.
