Özet
Aim: In this retrospective study, We investigated if neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) can suggest at hospital admission the location of lesion according to TASC 2 classification, in patients with peripheral arterial disease(PAD). Methods: In patients who underwent peripheral angiography, the routine blood tests performed before the procedure were collected. 241 patients between January 2010 and March 2013 were included in the study. The relationship between blood parameters and the location of peripheral arterial lesions was investigated. The patients were divided into 4 groups according to their TASC 2 (Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus Document on Management of Peripheral Arterial Disease)classification; group A,B,C and D. Results: According to blood tests of patients, NLR and PLR were 3.47 +/- 2.69 and 154.1 +/- 71.2, respectively. When NLR and PLR values were evaluated separately in each group, in patients of Group D according to TASC 2. median NLR and PLR values were significantly higher compared to other groups. In high PLR group, concomitant coronary artery disease was observed in 30.9% of patients, and this difference was statistically significant compared to the low PLR group. Conclusion: Widespread of the PAD may be predicted with the help of a simple blood test at the limited conditions of outpatient clinics and time will be saved in terms of prevention of PAD.
