Evaluation of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio and mean platelet volume in patients with knee osteoarthritis
Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, and mean platelet volume levels in patients with knee osteoarthritis and explore their clinical significance.
Material and Methods: The study included 92 patients with knee osteoarthritis and 57 healthy individuals.Age, sex, height, weight, body mass index, stage of knee osteoarthritis with Kellgren-Lawrence classification, total white blood counts, neutrophil, platelet, lymphocyte counts, c-reactive protein, sedimantation, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, and mean platelet volume values of the patients were analyzed retrospectively.
Results:The present study found no significant difference in terms of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, and mean platelet volume values in patients with knee osteoarthritis when compared to the control group. C-reactive protein levels in patients with osteoarthritis were significantly higher than control group.Although neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio value of osteoarthritis patients was moderate high compared to the control group was not statistically significant.
Conclusion: Osteoarthritis has been increasingly recognized to include low grade inflammation, often subclinical. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio and mean platelet volume values are cheap and practical. But these rates to determine the severity of disease in patients with knee osteoarthritis are not considered as a suitable parameter in our study.
