Serum Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio and Platelet/Lymphocyte Ratio before and after Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction

Author(s): Chunjie Zhang, Xiaohong Li

Objective To investigate the changes of serum neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) before and after thrombolysis in acute cerebral infarction (ACI) and their clinical significance. Methods A total of 100 patients diagnosed with acute cerebral infarction and undergoing intravenous thrombolysis in the Department of Neurology of Jinan Central Hospital from January 2019 to October 2019 were selected and divided into the mild functional impairment group according to the neurological impairment score (NIHSS score) ( ≤12 points) and severe functional impairment group (>12 points)), retrospectively analyze the patient’s general clinical data and biochemical indicators such as neutrophils (NC), platelets (PLT) and lymphocytes (LC), and calculate NLR , PLR. Compare the changes of NLR and PLR between different groups. Results The levels of NLR and PLR in the severe functional impairment group before thrombolysis were significantly higher than those in the mild functional impairment group. The levels of NLR and PLR in the severe functional impairment group after thrombolysis were significantly higher than those in the mild functional impairment group. The difference was statistically significant. Conclusion Serum NLR and PLR are related to the severity of ACI.
