Evaluation of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, lymphocyte-monocyte, and monocyte-high density lipoprotein ratios in patients with fibromyalgia and determination of their relationship with disease activity, pain, and depression levels

CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that in fibromyalgia patients, monocyte level and MHR were higher than in healthy subjects. Also, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) level was found lower, and the total cholesterol level was found higher in patients with FM. Increased LMR and HDL-C values were found as responsible for decreasing the risk of developing FM and increased glucose and total cholesterol values were responsible for increasing the risk of FM developing.PMID:37318466 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202306_32609
