Neutrophil- and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratios are Correlated with Disease Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Value of neutrophil to lymphocyte and platelet to lymphocyte ratios in pneumonia

“…In another study, Uluca et al showed that NLR is higher in the FMF attack group than in the attack-free FMF patients and healthy control group (28). Additionally, Fu et al evaluated 128 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and 78 healthy individuals and they speculated that NLR and PLR values may be used as potential indices for rheumatoid arthritis disease activity (29). In the present study, our fi ndings are also in accordance with these results.…”

Osteoartrit hastalarında hematolojik parametrelerin tanısal değeri

“…We also examined NLR and PLR levels, and found them to be significantly raised in the osteoarthritis patient group. Studies have shown that NLR and PLR levels can be used as indicators of systemic inflammation 14,15 . This supports the inflammatory hypothesis of the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis.…”

“…It has been postulated that RDW levels correlate with inflammatory markers and disease activity in several chronic inflammatory diseases 12,13 . Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), calculated as a simple ratio between neutrophil and lymphocyte counts, was used as a systemic inflammation index, and were assessed in studies of rheumatologic diseases and malignancy 14,15 . Platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) reflects systemic inflammatory response 15 .…”

The inflammatory disease burden at presentation is a good indicator of early LDA/remission: A retrospective study

“…Literature evidence clearly indicates that low Hb% and the NLR reflects the presence of chronic inflammation. [17][18][19][20][21] Thus it could be concluded that age and intensity of inflammation influence the attainment of early remission in RA patients.…”
