ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate whether the lactate dehydrogenase to albumin ratio can be used as a parameter to determine disease severity in Behçet's disease, an inflammatory disease, by comparing it to healthy controls.

Patients and Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, patients with Behçet's disease aged 18-69 years who presented to the outpatient clinic between February 2020 and April 2023 and healthy individuals of similar age and gender were enrolled.
