Importance of complete blood count parameters and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in central and peripheral vertigo
Journal Title: Gulhane Medical Journal - Year 2020, Vol 62, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim: The present study investigated the diagnostic value of complete blood count (CBC) parameters, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR), mean platelet volume-to-platelet (MPV/PLT), and platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR) ratios in patients with central vertigo (CV) compared to the value in patients with peripheral vertigo (PV). Methods: This retrospective study included 31 patients with CV and 132 patients with PV. CBC parameters and NLR, MPV/PLT, and PLR were statistically analyzed in all patients with vertigo. Results: Statistically significant differences were found between the CV and PV groups for white blood cell (WBC) count 9.55±2.33 and 8.24±2.34×106/mm3 (p=0.006), NLR 3.58±2.16 and 2.96±2.47 (p=0.014), neutrophil count 6.49±2.38 and 5.27±2.23×106/mm3 (p=0.007), and monocyte count 0.68±0.24 and 0.55±0.21×106/mm3 (p=0.003). Conclusion: WBC, neutrophil, and monocyte counts and NLR may be useful in the differential diagnosis of CV and PV.
