This study aimed at investigating the potential use of the Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) as a biomarker
for assessing the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms in patients with prostate disease. The study included
363 patients with Benign Prostatic Enlargement (BPE) and compared their NLR values with clinical and
laboratory parameters, including the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)
level, and maximum u rinary flow rate (Qmax).
The results showed that NLR values were significantly higher in patients with more severe lower urinary tract
symptoms, as measured by the IPSS score. Furthermore, NLR values were positively correlated with total white cell
count and neutrophil count, and negatively correlated with lymphocyte count in BPE patients. The study also found
a positive correlation between NLR.. View More»
