摘要
A full blood count is a routine, inexpensive and easy test that provides information about formed blood contents. The platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is a novel inflammatory marker, which may be used in many diseases for predicting inflammation and mortality. The PLR can be easily calculated and is widely available but it may be affected by several inflammatory conditions. Recent studies show that a high PLR reflects inflammation, atherosclerosis and platelet activation. More research is needed to determine how the PLR may be used in clinical practice.
