Psoriasis is a chronic systemic inflammatory disorder. The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (N/L ratio) has been used as a marker for systemic inflammatory status. In our study, we aimed to evaluate N/L ratio in patients with psoriasis.
This cross-sectional study population consisted of 138 patients with psoriasis and 120 age- and sex-matched control subjects.
The patients had significantly higher neutrophil counts and lower lymphocyte counts than the controls. The N/L ratios and high sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels were also significantly higher in patients. The N/L ratios and hs-CRP levels were increasing with increasing in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score. Furthermore, the N/L ratios and hs-CRP levels of patients were found to be positively correlated.
Our data show that the N/L ratio to be a simple, inexpensive and easily assessable marker of systemic inflammation in patients with psoriasis.
银屑病是一种慢性全身性炎症性疾病。中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值(N/L比值)已被用作全身炎症状态的标志物。在我们的研究中,我们旨在评估银屑病患者的N/L比值。
这项横断面研究的人群包括138例银屑病患者和120例年龄及性别匹配的对照者。
患者的中性粒细胞计数显著高于对照组,淋巴细胞计数低于对照组。患者的N/L比值和高敏C反应蛋白(hs-CRP)水平也显著更高。N/L比值和hs-CRP水平随着银屑病面积和严重程度指数评分的增加而升高。此外,发现患者的N/L比值与hs-CRP水平呈正相关。
我们的数据表明,N/L比值是银屑病患者全身炎症的一种简单、廉价且易于评估的标志物。
