Assessment of Inflammatory Status Based on Total Blood Count and Its Relationship to Cardiovascular Diseases

Background: Inflammation seems to be the most important trigger for atherosclerosis. Lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) and hypertension (HTN) are the most important atherosclerotic diseases. Total blood count-derived neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and red cell distribution width (RDW) have be...

description Background: Inflammation seems to be the most important trigger for atherosclerosis. Lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) and hypertension (HTN) are the most important atherosclerotic diseases. Total blood count-derived neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and red cell distribution width (RDW) have been proposed as inflammatory biomarkers in cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation with LEAD and HTN.
