Assessment of Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio in Patients with Age-related Macular Degeneration

Abstract

Patients with AMD have higher NLR compared with controls, and NLR correlates with disease severity. NLR may be used as a biomarker of inflammation in AMD.

The Evaluation of Neutrophil to Lymphocyte ratio and mean platelet volume in patients with active and inactive thyroid orbitopathy

“…[11] Oküler hastalıklar sistemik inflamasyondan ziyade lokal bir inflamatuar yanıta neden olmasına rağmen NLO'nun yaşa bağlı makular dejenerasyon, retinal ven tıkanıklığı, non-arteritik anterior iskemik optik nöropati, vernal keratokonjonktivit, kuru göz ve primer açık açılı glokom gibi çeşitli göz hastalıklarında ilişkili olduğu saptanmış-tır. [25][26][27][28][29][30][31] NLO'nun lokal inflamatuar hastalıklarda anlamlı olabilmesi için sistemik kan parametrelerinde değişiklik yapması gerekir. TO'deki inflamasyon aslında sistemik inflamasyonun bir sonucudur ve kan parametrelerini değiştirebilir.…”

Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio in Patients with Nonarteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy

“…In addition, a high NLR has been found to be correlated with severity and poor prognosis of several diseases [567891011]. Also, the NLR has been assessed in several studies on eye disease [2021]. Ilhan et al [20] found that patients with age-related macular degeneration have higher NLR compared with healthy subjects.…”

Elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in pseudoexfoliation syndrome

“…14 The inflammation is an important component of other ocular diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and vascular diseases of retina. [15][16][17] The relationship between NLR and diabetic retinopathy was shown. 11 The assessment of NLR in patients with AMD was studied by Ilhan N et al 17 In their study, patients with AMD have higher NLR compared with controls and NLR correlates with age and disease severity.…”
