Abstract:

The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelete/ lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is a simple marker of systemic inflamatory response. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship of NLR and PLR with thyroid cancer and different benign thyroidal pathologies such as multi nodular goiter and thyroiditis. 331 patients who underwent thyroidectomy in general surgery department of our hospital between 2015 and 2017 were evaluated. Laboratory findings, demographic characteristics and pathology reports of patients were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were devided into four groups according to pathological reports. 241 of 331 patients were diagnosed with MNG (MNG Group), 17 were thyroiditis (T group), 49 were thyroid carcinomas (TK Group) and 24 were thyroid carcinoma with thyroiditis (T-TK Group). Patients were also devided into two groups according to precence of malignancy as benign (n=258) and malign (n=73). NLR and PLR values of groups were compared. 292 (88.2%) of paitents were female and 39 (11.8%) were male with a mean age was 50.52±12.08 years. There was no statistically significant difference between four groups in terms of NLR and PLR values (p>0.05). However, according to presence of malignancy, NLR values of malignant group was found to be statistically higher than the NLR values of benign group (p=0.039; p<0.05). There were no difference between two groups according to PLR values (p>0.05). In our study, there was no relationship between different thyroid pathologies and NLR and PLR. There is a need for prospective, randomized, large series of studies on the subject
