Relation of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio to resistant hypertension

Abstract: Objectives. Resistant hypertension has unfavourable effects on cardiovascular and other systems. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of neutrophil/lymphocyte (N/L) ratio and resistant hypertension. Methods. A total of 140 patients were included in the study. Ambulatory 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, transthoracic echocardiography and blood sample analyzing were performed in all patients. There were 60 patients with resistant hypertension group (mean age=55.1±9.7 years) and 80 patients … Show more

“…Recently, NLR, which is considered as a strong visual fi eld of infl ammation, has been shown in many studies that can be used to predict prognosis in many diseases such as cancer, cardiac, autoimmune [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. NLR is the ratio of absolute neutrophil count to the absolute lymphocyte count.…”

“…The R-Baux score has been used for many years for estimating the risk of mortality in severely burned patients [4]. In a number of recent publications, it has been stated that the NLR which is cheap and easily calculated at every center, is a strong indicator of infl ammation in many diseases such as cancer, cardiac, and autoimmune diseases, and can be used for estimating the prognosis of the patient [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. So we also aimed to reveal the relationship between mortality and NLR in cases that treated in our center.…”

During inflammation, neutrophils are the first cells to arrive at the injured site, ready to orchestrate the repair of tissue damage induced by macrophages.…”
