Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio and Plateled to Lymphocyte Ratio in Patients with Pulmonary Embolism
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY MEDICINE - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: The aim of our study was to investigate clinical importance of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and plateled to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE).Methods: 50 patients with a diagnosis of acute PE included into the study between January 2016 and December 2017. NLR level was measured by dividing neutrophil count to lymphocyte count. PLR level was measured by dividing plateled count to lymphocyte count. Pre-treatment and post-treatment groups of NLR and PLR values were compared.Results: It has been NLR and PLR ratio have a significantly higher value in admission and patients with pre-treatment groups were found statistically significant variable to predict the treatment effects. Also, correlation analysis showed a significant correlation between NLR and PLR. Conclusion: NLR and PLR values may be a useful biomarker for risk stratification and also prognosis for PE.
