The Importance of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
2016
OBJECTIVES
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common lung disease characterized by airflow limitation and systemic inflammation. Recently, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has gathered increasing interest in the detection of inflammation in inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to investigate the role of NLR in COPD for identifying the detection of inflammation and recognition of acute exacerbation.
