Background: Inflammation is a response of the immune system to protect the body against various diseases or injuries. Serum trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) levels may vary depending on age, gender, habits, comorbidities, and microbiota.
Aims: In this study, we investigated whether TMAO levels have diagnostic significance and their potential as a marker in the early diagnosis of the disease.
