THE RELATION OF NEUTROPHIL/LYMPHOCYTE RATIO, PLATELET/LYMPHOCYTE RATIO
AND MEAN PLATELET VOLUME WITH IDIOPATHIC ACUTE ANTERIOR UVEITIS
Abstract
ABSTRACT Purpose: In this study, leukocyte, lymphocyte, neutrophil,
platelet count, mean platelet volume (MPV), neutrophil/lymphocyte (NLR)
ratio and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were retrospectively evaluated
in patients with idiopathic acute anterior uveitis. Methods: Medical
records were retrospectively reviewed from March 2016 to February 2020.
50 patients, 25 men and 25 women, and 50 healthy volunteers, 25 males
and 25 females, as the control group were included in the study. Blood
samples of the patients were taken before starting treatment. A complete
ophthalmological examination including corrected visual acuity,
tonometry, slit lamp and fundus examination was performed in all
patients. Gender, age, leukocyte, neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet, MPV,
PLR, NLR values of the patients were recorded. Results: In this study, a
statistically significant difference was found in the values of
leukocyte (p<0.001), neutrophil (p<0.001), platelet
(p<0.001), NLR (p<0.001) and PLR
(p<0.001). There was no significant difference between the two
groups in terms of the number of lymphocyte (p=0.063) and value of MPV
(p=0.051). Leukocyte, neutrophil, platelet count, NLR, PLR values were
found to be higher in the uveitis group compared to the control group.
Conclusions: In this retrospective study, it is thought that leukocyte,
neutrophil, platelet count, PLR, NLR, levels are significant in patients
with idiopathic acute anterior uveitis and can be used in early
diagnosis.
