Abstract:

Objective To investigate the correlations of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio(PLR) with hyperlipidemia(HLP). Methods The study included 495 patients with HLP,and their results of laboratory parameters were analyzed retrospectively. Totally,500 healthy subjects were enrolled as control group. Results HLP group had higher NLR and PLR compared to those of control group(P=0.007). In the univariate analysis,white blood cell,hemoglobin,NLR and PLR were moderately correlated with HLP. Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve analysis showed that the optimal cut-off value for NLR was 1.71(P<0.001). The sensitivity was 68.0%,and the specificity was 78.5%. The predictive strength of NLR was better than those of the other parameters. A strong positive correlation was revealed between the severity of HLP and NLR. Conclusions Patients with HLP have higher NLR and PLR compared to healthy subjects. NLR increases with the severity of HLP.
