摘要：
Aim: To evaluate the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in diagnosed cases of coronary artery disease. Methods: It was a cross sectional analytical study. The participants included 40 cases with coronary artery disease and 20 normal healthy males. All the participants were in the age group of 35-55 years and were nonsmokers. Total and differential leukocyte count was checked by automated hemoanalyzer and neutrophil lymphocyte ratio was calculated. Results: Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio was significantly raised in the diseased group. Conclusion: Elevated N/L (Neutrophil/Lymphocyte) ratio support the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease.
