Abstract
Serum total bilirubin level was independently and inversely associated with the severity of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with stable CAD. In addition, total bilirubin level was inversely correlated with CRP, NLR and RDW. These results suggest that besides its already known effect on the oxidative stress, higher serum total bilirubin level may exhibit an anti-inflammatory effect in the coronary atherosclerotic process.
