MATERIAL and METHODS The study was conducted prospectively and included 63 patients who were admitted to the ED between May 15th, 2018, and October 1st, 2018, and 59 healthy subjects included as the control group. A new method developed by Erel and Neşelioğlu was used to measure the thiol/disulfide homeostasis parameters (thiol, disulfide, disulfide/native thiol, disulfide/total thiol, native thiol/total thiol), and the NLR was studied in the patient and control groups. In addition, the relationship between these parameters and the body temperature and urinary cultures in patients with UTI was investigated as well.
