Correlations of lncRNA IFNG‐AS1, lncRNA ANRIL, and lncRNA ITSN1 relative expressions with hs‐CRP and ESR. Relative expression of lncRNA INFG‐AS1 positively correlated with hs‐CRP (A), but was not correlated with ESR (D). However, no correlation of lncRNA ANRIL expression with hs‐CRP (B) or ESR (E) was found. And lncRNA ITSN1 level was not associated with hs‐CRP (C) or ESR (F). Spearman 2‐way test was used to assess the correlation of lncRNA IFNG‐AS1, lncRNA ANRIL and lncRNA ITSN1 relative expression with hs‐CRP and ESR. P < .05 was considered significant. ESR, erythrocyte sedimentation rate; hs‐CRP, high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein
